M5Stack : Ethernet module (W5500) + PoE

Ethernet base for M5Stack (W5500) + PoE module

The M5 Core is based on ESP32 so it have WiFi and Bluetooth connection. However, WiFi is not always available or reliable enough to be used in industrial environment or in distant area. Thank to this Ethernet base, you can wire up your project directly on the local network.

The W5500 chip used inside this module embed TCP/IP stack to provide an easier access to the  Internet. This Base is specifically designed for industrial application scenarios and comes with several HT3.96 connectors, a metal rail and magnet discs.

The 6 pins HT3.96 connector is free for use and can be wired to the M-BUS (or other circuit as needed).

Industrial power supply

This base does have a barrel jack connector to supply the project with a DC voltage from 9 to 24V.

RS485 to UART

The kit includes a TTL-to-RS485 converter that can be soldered on the main board if needed.

The serial port of the RS485 is connected to GPIO16 and GPIO17.

Technical details

• Input voltage 9 to 24V
• RS485 available on HT3.96 4 pins connector
• W5500 chipset (well supported on Arduino)
