Modbus/TCP Communication Protocol

6.1

Overview

Modbus/TCP is one of the protocol used to communicate with devices such as PCs
or PLCs (sequencers) using the TCP/IP protocol via Ethernet and other networks.

This communication protocol is used to perform read/write operations with the D
registers in the PR300 and exchange data with connected devices.

The PR300 can be connected to IEEE802.3-compliant networks (10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX). Generally, the Modbus/TCP protocol communicates through port 502.

In addition, the PR300 operates as Ethernet-serial gateway. A higher-level device can
exchange data with other serial communication devices using the Modbus/TCP
protocol via the PR300.
