MESP211 OPERATIONAL CONNECTIONS
USING MESP211 MODBUS GATEWAYS IN DIRECT IP MODE
A Direct IP connection allows applications using TCP/IP socket programs to communicate
with the COM ports on the Modbus Gateway. In this type of application the Modbus Gateway
is configured as a TCP server. The socket program running on the PC establishes a
communication connection with the Modbus Gateway. The data is sent directly to and from
the serial port on the server.
To set up a Direct IP Mode connection:
1. Connect the Modbus Gateway to the network and a Modbus network as described
in previous sections.
2. Configure the Modbus Gateway with the appropriate network settings (using or
the web interface).
3. Configure your software application with the appropriate IP address and port
number to communicate with the Modbus network(s).
