Modbus Master Capability Added

This new capability provides significant benefits in SCADA-based applications that requires flexible I/O data transfer capability, says the vendor. Some of the key onboard features now enable the 240U-E to act as a Modbus TCP Client (Master) or Server (Slave); act as a Modbus RTU serial Master; and also communicate Modbus TCP Ethernet to RTU Gateway. The new Device Server features allow users to: connect to Modbus TCP and/or Modbus RTU Slave devices without the need for a standalone Master; convert messages between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU; and manage independent connections to both Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU (serial) devices at the same 802.11 unit, simultaneously.
