Modbus Connectivity with TCP, RTU and ASCII
Modbus RTU and ASCII
For standard MicroSmart Pentra PLCs, up to 7 communica-
tion ports can be configured as Modbus RTU and/or ASCII
master or slave. It is even possible to have one PLC act as
a master in one Modbus network, while at the same time
acting as a slave in another Modbus network! There is no
restriction on how the Modbus networks are set up with
MicroSmart Pentra PLCs
Modbus TCP
MicroSmart Pentra PLCs with embedded Ethernet port
support Modbus TCP Client (Master) or Server (Slave)
communications. When configured as a Client on the
Modbus TCP network, up to 3 connections can be estab-
lished to the client (master) MicroSmart Pentra PLC. Each
connection can communicate with up to 255 server (slave)
devices. On top of that, you can still make connections to
the PLC using WindLDR software for program monitoring,
upload or download. You can also still use a web browser
for remote access to the PLC, even though the Ethernet
port is already configured for Modbus TCP connections.
