The ProLinx Modbus TCP/IP (MNET) driver can be used to interface many
different protocols into the Schneider Electric Quantum family of processors as
well other devices supporting the protocol. The MNET driver supports Client
connections as well as Server connections, and, with the addition of the WEB
hardware option, the gateway also provides HTTP, FTP and Email capability.
The Ethernet driver interfaces with a common internal database in the gateway.
This permits the sharing of data across many different protocols and networks.
The following illustration shows the functionality of the MNET driver.
