Configure Modbus-RTU

Use Modbus-RTU to enable data transmission between devices using the HIPswitch serial interface.

Connect an RS-232 Modbus Program Logic Controller (PLC) to your HIPswitch using a DB9-to-DB9 or DB9-to-RJ45 cable.

Note: RS-485 is supported by the HIPswitch-250, but others will require an adapter.
Go to HIPservices>HIPswitch>Ports>Serial over IP
Click Edit Settings, and then configure SoIP using the Generic Serial Over IP communications protocol.
Add the SoIP device to an overlay and create policy.
For information, see Add devices or device groups to an overlay network.
Using Modbus Polling software, such as FieldTalk's ModPoll, test the configuration using a command such as the following: modpoll -m rtu -r 1 -c 125 -1 -p 4001 10.10.20.162
