Architecture Supported by Modbus Communication on TCP/IP
Original instructions
Introduction
The following figure shows the supported architecture:
Accessibility
The Modbus protocol provides interoperability between the Premium station and the Quantum station on a TCP/IP Ethernet network.
However, access from a Premium PLC to a Modbus Plus network connected to the Quantum PLC is not possible via TCP/IP.
The Modbus protocol cannot cross X-Way Premium bridges.
Communication between a Premium PLC on the Ethernet network with a remote device connected to a Modbus series bus is possible with a 174 CEV 300 10 serial-linked Ethernet/Modbus gateway.
Exception for the TSX ETY 110 Module
For a TSX ETY 110 module, communication between a Premium PLC on the Ethernet network with a device connected to the Modbus serial bus is not possible.
