⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Manufacturing Plant, Germany
"Reliable and robust—exactly what we needed for our legacy PLC integration. The DTECH adapter seamlessly bridges our old RS232 devices to the new Ethernet-based SCADA system. Installation was plug-and-play with the screw-terminal block, and the CE + EPR Germany certification made compliance a breeze. No configuration headaches, just solid performance."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Petrova - Industrial Automation Technician, Poland
"We’ve used several serial-to-Ethernet converters, but this one stands out. The plastic housing is surprisingly tough—even in our dusty workshop, it hasn’t failed. I especially appreciate the DIP switch for toggling between RS485 and RS422. We’re using it to connect barcode scanners to control panels, and data transmission has been flawless."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Lin - IoT Solutions Provider, France
"Solid performer for medium-scale smart building deployments. We installed the Advanced Model across three commercial sites for HVAC monitoring. The 1km transmission range is accurate, and EPR France compliance was a must-have. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the user manual could include more protocol troubleshooting tips."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Reed - DIY Automation Hobbyist, USA
"I bought the Base Model for my home IoT setup to connect an old weather station to my local network. Despite being marketed for industrial use, it works perfectly in a home environment. The DB9 + terminal block combo makes wiring secure, and the compact size fits neatly in my enclosure. For under $40, this is a powerhouse."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anika Mehta - Senior Controls Engineer, Automotive Plant, Germany
"We went with the Pro Model for our production line retrofit. The 1.2km RS485 range allowed us to eliminate repeaters, and the 460.8kbps data rate ensures real-time feedback from sensors. The dual EPR certifications were non-negotiable for our audit team. DTECH even helped us customize the power input wiring—outstanding support."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 10 months
