Model: USB485
Info (optional)
Include any important information regarding the device that users should know about (example: CTid enabled hardware is only compatible with EG4xxx meters and newer)
Overview
The eGauge USB485 is used to receive and send serial data between a RS485 serial chain and a host's USB port. Primarily it is used for compatible eGauge meters (EG4xxx Core and Pro) to record data from remote Modbus devices (such as inverters, temperature sensors, and other meters), or for other systems (such as a building automation system or other data loggers) to read data from the eGauge via Modbus RTU.
It may be used for other non-eGauge applications as it utilizes a well known FT230X chipset from FTDI. However, eGauge Systems does not provide support for these applications.
