Issue
Modbus TCP/IP Server is not an option when programming a Modbus Gateway in an Xenta Server.
Environment
Xenta 913
Xenta 7xx
XBuilder
Cause
There are only 3 Modbus Interface configurations for Modbus in an Xenta Server.
Modbus RTU
- Client ("Master"), Modbus serial line master on a network
- Server ("Slave"), Modbus serial line slave on a network
Modbus TCP
- Client ("Master"), Modbus TCP client to a server or router on a network
Modbus TCP Server is not possible.
Resolution
Modbus TCP/IP can only be configured to be a Client (Master) in an Xenta Server. A solution if TCP Server is absolutely necessary would be to use an IP to 485 converter, such as an EGX100, and use the RTU interface.
