1. Description
1.1 Introduction
Communicate with Modbus RTU slaves remotely using Modbus TCP, with the advantage of
having various Modbus TCP masters accessing the same RTU slaves simultaneously.
Transparent operation: the Modbus TCP telegrams are converted to Modbus RTU and viceversa transparently.
When more than one Modbus TCP master is connected, the queries of each master are
appropriately alternated, handling the waiting queues and RTU bus access.
Simple configuration: only the IP address, Net Mask, EIA232 or EIA485, baud rate, parity
and stop bits are needed. All is done using LinkBoxMB software for windows, provided with
the gateway without additional cost, quickly and easily.
The Modbus TCP port acts as a slave, the Modbus RTU port acts as a master.
