Modbus client gateway
This gateway allows to connect a serial modbus master to the
serial interface of the product.
The gateway can be connected to several Modbus TCP
servers on the IP network
Other slaves can be connected to the serial link.
How the Modbus Client Gateway works :
In order to access a Modbus TCP server on the IP network, a mapping table between a Modbus slave address
and an IP address is set ; so when the Modbus master sends a request to the Modbus slave at address A, the
mapping table allow to transmit the request to the corresponding IP address.
In addition, the Modbus address field of the Modbus TCP frame is set to A.
The mapping table can contain 32 lines allowing a Modbus master to address 32 servers on the IP network.
To configure the gateway :
•
In the menu, choose
Setup > IP-RS gateways > Modbus > Modbus client
.
•
Tick the
Enable Modbus client
checkbox.
•
Configure the following parameters.
COM port
