Protocol
The ATC series of automatic transfer controllers support the communication protocols Modbus
RTU® and Modbus ASCII® on the RS 232 and RS 485 serial ports. Using this function it is
possible to read the device status and to control the units through the dedicated remote control
software (SENTRON SOFTWARE ATC), third-party supervision software (SCADA) or through
other intelligent devices supporting Modbus®, like PLCs.
