1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Modbus Gateway is an interface between Modbus Gateway and computer hosts running
Modbus/TCP on Ethernet networks. Fully compliant with Modbus/TCP, the Modbus Gateway
offers a convenient solution to connect existing devices or controllers running Modbus serial
protocol (Modbus/ASCII or Modbus/RTU) to an Ethernet network. The MB54XX Series are
standard Modbus gateways that convert between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII
protocols.
The MB54XX Series support 16 simultaneous TCP master and 32 simultaneous requests for
each TCP master. Each RS-232/422/485 serial port can be individually configured for Modbus
RTU or Modbus ASCII operation or even different baudrate, allowing both types of networks to
be fully integrated with Modbus TCP within one package.
