5.1.2 Modbus TCP/IP Specifications

ProSoft Technology’s Modbus TCP/IP implementation (MNET) includes both
Client (Master) and server (slave) capabilities

 Modbus data types overlap in the module's memory database, so the same

data can be conveniently read or written as bit-level or register-level data.

 Configurable floating-point data movement is possible, including support for

Enron or Daniel

®

floating-point formats

Modbus TCP/IP Server (Slave)
 Supports ten independent server connections for Service Port 502 (MBAP)
 Supports ten independent server connections for Service Port 2000

(Encapsulated)

 Accepts Modbus Function Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8, 15, 16, 17, 22 and 23
 Module data can be derived from other Modbus server devices on the

network through the Client or from the ControlLogix processor
