Communication and networks are not my forte and I'm still wrapping my head around most of this.
We've made a sensor that can be communicated with in 3 ways: serial cable (4pins, Rx, Tx), Modbus RS485 cable, and wifi. We have a collaborating partner that's asking for Modbus TCP/IP via ethernet cable.
Should we buy a gateway (like the ones from Moxa) that converts RS485 to TCP?
Or is there a way to combine what's already written for wifi with an ethernet cable/port?
Any other ideas
