Use Modbus-TCP now available in firmare 2.1.6 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 Modbus
communications protocol.
-
Add Modbus-TCP device to the Overlay
and create policy
-
Using Modbus Polling software, such as FieldTalk's ModPoll, test the configuration using a
command such as the following: modpoll -m tcp -r 1 -c 125 -1
