TCP on Ethernet network
illustrates a possible network configuration
of the MB52XX Series Modbus Gateway
.
Fully compliant with Modbus
/
TCP protocol, the Modbus gateway offers a
convenient solution to connect existing devices or controllers running Modbus serial protocol
(
Modbus
/
ASCII or
Modbus
/
RTU
)
to an Ethernet network
.
The MB52XX Series are standard Modbus gateways that convert packets
between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU
/
ASCII protocols
.
The MB52XX Series supports 64 simultaneous TCP masters
.
Overall, 247 Servers are supported (TCP, COM and
VCOM).
Each RS
