Victron RS485 to USB Interface (5 m) is a custom, extended-length communications adapter cable that reliably converts an industrial RS485 interface to a standard computer USB port. The length of 5 meters allows flexible placement of communication equipment (for example, Cerbo GX panels) away from metering points (electricity meters) or power inverters that communicate via the Modbus-RTU protocol.
Advantages of a long RS485-USB interface cable
- Increased connection distance (5 meters) without loss of signal quality, which is ideal for large distribution boards.
- Hardware RS485 signal conversion for connection to Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX or personal computer.
- Full compatibility with the open Modbus-RTU protocol.
- Plug & Play operation: the system automatically recognizes the cable as a virtual COM port.
- Power is supplied directly from the USB port (5 V).
Technical characteristics
- Manufacturer code:ASS030572050
- Interface to PC/controller:USB Type-A
- Interface to equipment: RS485 (stripped wires for easy connection to terminals)
- Cable length: 5 meters (extended length)
- Supported OS:Windows, macOS, Linux distributions (including Venus OS)
- Power: 5 V (from PC USB port or GX panel)
- Protocols:Modbus-RTU, proprietary communication protocols via RS485
Areas of application
- Connecting remote electricity meters (ET112, ET340, EM24) to ESS energy management systems.
- Connecting server racks with batteries with RS485-based BMS to monitoring systems.
- Integration of solar inverters and MPPT controllers of the RS series into SCADA systems at industrial facilities.
- Debugging equipment in hard-to-reach places without the need to move the laptop close to the device.
Compatible equipment
- Electric energy meters (Energy Meters) from Victron Energy or Carlo Gavazzi.
- Powerful charge controllers SmartSolar MPPT RS.
- Inverters of the Multi RS Solar series.
- Any third-party devices operating using the Modbus-RTU protocol via the RS485 interface.
