7.7 Modbus IP-Serial Gateway

7.7.1 Description

The Modbus IP-Serial Gateway carries out translation between 
Modbus/TCP and Modbus/RTU or Modbus/ASCII. This means 
that Modbus serial slaves can be directly attached to the unit's 
serial ports without any external protocol convertors.

7.7.2 Selecting the port function

The serial server configuration is accessed by selecting Serial
Server
 from the main menu and Port Setup from the submenu. 
To enable a port for the Modbus IP-Serial Gateway function, 
select Modbus IP-Serial Gateway from the Function column of 
the appropriate port. Once selected, click Update to confirm 
the change. Once confirmed, the port will display as shown in 
Figure 127.
