1. Introduction
Modbus is an industry adopted communication protocol based on RTU, ASCII, and TCP protocols for
various applications; these three protocols are commonly used by hardware equipments in the industry,
such as DCS, PLC, HMI, power load measurement, various sensor and measuring instruments. The
Modbus Gateway is capable of implementing the Modbus environment between different hardware
interfaces, thereby streamlining the process of management and application.
Diverse Hardware Infrastructure
Modbus Gateway supports the four most commonly used hardware communication interfaces, RS232,
RS485, RS422, and Ethernet. The simple-to-use configuration software provided with Modbus Gateway
can quickly modify the hardware interface to use, and easily switch to the existing hardware
communication infrastructure.
Switching between Modbus Protocols
Modbus Gateway supports the standard Modbus protocol and is capable of converting any Modbus
protocols between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII for all supported hardware
interfaces.
