Hi Steve I've never done it, but I presume you'd use something like this: http://www.emtec.com.au/serial-and-usb/serial-to-ethernet-servers/single-por... Then it's just a case of plugging it into the network (whether that's into a Groove or something else), installing the RealPort software on a computer and then collect data as though that computer was connected directly.

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.
