to serial slaves.
The gateway offers a number of core properties.
•
Supports Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII serial protocols
•
Supports Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU over TCP, Modbus RTU over UDP,
Modbus ASCII over TCP and Modbus ASCII over UDP network protocols
•
Generates and filters out gateway exceptions
•
Routes traffic on the network, based on Modbus addressing, enabling intelligent
use of network resources
•
Makes automatic connection management
•
Enables multiple server sessions over network
•
Offers unlimited amount of Masters on serial or Network side
•

Modbus modes
Serial master to network slaves
When the Modbus master supports serial based Modbus, communication needs to
control slaves over a TCP/IP network. The device on the master side must be in the
“Serial master to network slaves” mode.
