modbus rtu via ethernet IP ?

[augerd1]

Hello,
I appreciate your work and I'd really made the world used a program like yours.
I would like to find a low price solution for those who want a driver mobdus rtu
I know you are busy and do not have the neccessary time for this driver
a gateway modbus rtu / modbus tcp costs about $ 200 and should probably be easy to implemented
however, I would like your opinion on a module like this:

rs-232, rs485 / EthernetIP $ 50-60
what kind of change there would have brought the existing driver?

thx
David

I really don't have a good answer on how well one of these would work. I have never used any kind of converter, but I do know there has been at least one user that successfully used a ModbusTCP to ModbusRTU converter. This is the only details that I know about it:
