Modbus Module Updates

Modbus TCP is the Ethernet variant of the Modbus protocol, which is a standard communications protocol in industrial automation systems. The Modbus TCP Software Module comes with all the necessary tools for you to integrate Modbus connectivity right into your Rabbit-based systems. The Modbus TCP Master and Slave, and Modbus Serial Master and Slave allows you to connect a Rabbit-based system right into an existing Modbus network with devices connected through either Ethernet or a standard serial connection. In addition, the Modbus module supports an Ethernet-to-serial Gateway that allows you to monitor and control Modbus serial slave devices via a standard web browser. The Modbus TCP Software uses the RCM3700 and BL2600 as an application reference, using generic libraries that are easily transferable to other Rabbit-based systems. With RabbitWeb, you will be able to set-up, configure, and monitor Modbus TCP slave devices. Many PLC's have moved on to using Ethernet as the physical layer of their Modbus infrastructure, and the Modbus TCP software gives you the power of Rabbit connectivity!
