A New Communication Module for Direct ETHERNET Connection

The new Modbus TCP module allows direct connection of our MID energy meters without additional wiring effort, providing the perfect extension to the standard Modbus RTU interface. The Modbus TCP module has the same profile as WAGO’s energy meters, which power them during directly connected operation.


An external supply voltage is required for operation as a remote gateway, which can be provided with the DC/DC converters (item no. 787-2801), for example. This allows up to 32 Modbus RTU devices to be connected to the module via RS-485 connections. All modules use push-in connection technology with levers, making connections very easy and time-saving.


The module’s flexibility also saves time when retrofitting it into existing systems. In combination with our MID energy meters, it supports transfer of values such as active and reactive energy and, mains frequency, as well as current, voltage and power for the individual phases.
