CAN-SERIAL

The CAN-SERIAL is a gateway between the MUXEN network and equipment that speaks a serial protocol — Victron VE.Direct, or Modbus RTU over RS-485. Four channels, one piece of equipment per channel.

This page is the product data. What the box does is decided by the firmware loaded into it — see the CAN-SERIAL gateways overview for the catalogue, and each application's own manual for wiring and commissioning.

The two connector variants

The same board carries both, and the connector tells you which wiring it is built for.

Variant	Connector	Serial side
CAN-SERIAL Modbus	black	RS-485, half or full duplex, line termination switched by the firmware
CAN-SERIAL TTL	brown	TTL levels, for Victron VE.Direct
