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,

Hi Steve I have no idea about Mikrotik gear but I've done this sort of things for years using a number of different boards running Linux. Nowdays RPI is a good option. I've written tools which will run as a mobus master or slave, talking TCP or RTU. Some of the code for this is on github at https://github.com/latproc/clockwork
