Modbus Plus SA85 Adapter Selectable for a Channel

Previous releases of SCAN 3000 and ProcessLogix supported the
following Modbus Plus architectures only.

Single channel communicating via a single SA85 (non-redundant
media) or SA85-002 (redundant media) Adapter

Redundant channel communicating via two SA85 Adapters

Throughput was limited to that supported by a single SA85 Adapter.
This enhancement allows the user to insert multiple SA85 Adapters in
the one PC and to build a channel to communicate through each
Adapter.

Modbus Plus Adapter Configuration

The Modicon supplied Modbus Plus Driver Configuration software is
used to add and configure Modbus Plus Adapters.
