I think if you can convert the RS485 to RS232 you can hook into a serial port on one of the Routerboards that support serial. Then in the Mikrotik settings you can hook this serial port up to a TCP port and connect to it over telnet/WindowsVirtualCOMport/socat/netcat. So: * Choose a Routerboard that supports Wifi and serial * Set up the Other End to capture the data from the serial port over TCP/IP using one of the above methods. Can you have your MOBUS application at the Other End hook up to a virtual COM port in Windows? How do you want to capture or store the data?

Greetings all,
I'm wondering if anyone has or is collecting data from MODBUS / RS485 or other type industrial electrical equipment using Mikrotik gear, or if it is even possible?
I'm thinking perhaps if I can somehow interface the MODBUS into a Groove or something similar as a 'station' and then shoot the data off to my access point, we will be able to collect data from this industrial equipment, just hoping for some gotchas before I really get into it.
Cheers,
