3 Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU
3.1 Description
GS11-MT acts as a Modbus TCP server at the Ethernet side, and a Modbus RTU master at the serial port side.
GS11-MT receives Modbus TCP request messages come from Ethernet, then convert the message format from
TCP to RTU, and send them to the serial port. RTU response messages receiving from the serial port are converted
to Modbus TCP response messages and are transmitted to corresponding Modbus TCP master.
The procedure of message transmission is as follows:
GS11-MT
Modbus RTU
Modbus TCP
Request1
Request 2

Every Modbus TCP can connect multiple requests at the same time in this mode, and all connections share
the request buffer which can cache 20 frames.
