Description
xVictron Zigbee to RS485 Converter
The Victron Zigbee to RS485 converter enables wireless communication between Victron GX devices and RS485-based equipment. It is aimed at solar installers and off-grid professionals who need to integrate RS485 devices into a Victron monitoring setup without running additional signal cables.
Key Features
- Converts Zigbee wireless signals to RS485 serial communication, allowing cable-free integration of RS485 devices.
- Compatible with Victron GX product range for use in solar monitoring and energy management systems.
- Compact and lightweight at 157 g, suitable for installation in confined enclosures or distribution boards.
- Designed for use with Victron's broader ecosystem, including MPPT solar charge controllers and other RS485-capable devices.
- Simplifies system wiring by replacing RS485 signal cables with a Zigbee wireless link.
Product Overview
RS485 is a widely used serial communication standard in solar and energy storage systems. Many Victron devices use RS485 for data exchange, but running dedicated signal cables is not always practical, particularly in retrofit installations or across larger sites. This converter bridges the gap by replacing the wired RS485 connection with a Zigbee wireless link, keeping the communication protocol intact at both ends.
The converter works in pairs or as part of a Zigbee network. One unit connects to the GX device side and the other to the RS485 device, allowing data to pass wirelessly between them. This is particularly useful where physical cable routing is difficult or where a clean, low-cable installation is required. The unit is part of Victron's GX accessories range and is intended to work within the VRM and Venus OS ecosystem.
