Use this example to establish communications between the M580 rack and a single-port Modbus TCP device.
Standalone Network Topology
The example shows a generic Modbus TCP device in a simple configuration:
1
An M580 CPU in the local rack is connected to a PC that runs Control Expert.
2
A BMENOC0301/11 Ethernet communications module in the local rack is connected to a generic Modbus TCP device.
To re-create this example, use the IP addresses from your own configuration for these items:
NOTE: Control Expert software running in the PC is used to configure the Modicon M580 controller.
