Modbus TCP Client (Master) enables the XYR 400E to connect to one or more Modbus TCP 
Servers (Slaves). All Modbus Master messages are directed either to/from the onboard I/O registers 
depending on configuration (described below). The Modbus TCP Client may also poll Modbus 
RTU (i.e. serial) devices connected to either the local serial port or a remote XYR 400E serial port 
by enabling the Modbus TCP to RTU gateway at the corresponding serial port (see section “3.13.3 
Modbus TCP to RTU Gateway”). Modbus TCP Client functionality allows connections to a 
maximum of 25 different Modbus TCP Servers. 

Modbus TCP Server (Slave) enables the XYR 400E to accept connections from one or more 
Modbus TCP Clients (Masters). All Modbus transactions routed to the onboard Modbus TCP Server 
are directed either to/from the onboard general purpose I/O registers. The Modbus TCP Server is 
shared with the Modbus TCP to RTU Gateway, so that the Modbus “Device ID” is used to 
determine if a Modbus transaction is to be routed to the onboard Modbus TCP Server or to a 
Modbus RTU device connected to the serial port. Care should therefore be taken that all serially 
connected Modbus devices use a different Modbus Device ID (i.e. Modbus Slave Address) to the 
onboard Modbus TCP Server. Up to 32 separate connections to the Modbus TCP Server are 
supported. 

Modbus RTU (serial) Master functionality is achieved by combining the Modbus TCP Client 
(Master) and Modbus TCP to RTU Gateway. Simply specify a Modbus TCP Client (Master) 
connection to a Modbus TCP Server where the server is the address of any XYR 400E with Modbus 
TCP to RTU Gateway enabled. Care should be taken to ensure that the Device ID (i.e. Modbus 
Address) of the serial device is different to the Device ID of the onboard Modbus TCP Server of the 
XYR 400E that the serial device is connected to. 

The XYR 400E provides a configurable option to automatically reset the value of the onboard I/O 
registers to zero in the event of a communications failure. If a valid Modbus transaction directed 
to/from a given register has not been completed for longer than a configurable timeout, then the 
value of that register will be reset to zero.
