The TOP Server Modbus Suite provides the ultimate in flexibility for connectivity to the widest range of devices supporting the Modbus protocols and integration to other software applications using OPC DA, OPC UA and AVEVA Suitelink. Whether you need Serial, Ethernet or Ethernet/Serial gateway connectivity to Modbus devices, Schneider, Modicon, power distribution, generation & reliability systems or others, this software product gives you a diversity of options, including support for Ethernet/Serial gateways and flexible options to cover the extensive nuances of device implementation of Modbus that challenge other driver solutions.
The TOP Server Modbus Suite is continuously improved based on the change and adaptation of Modbus protocols throughout several market segments. Each driver in the Modbus Suite has configurable options for handling special cases involving the Modbus implementation for a device, making the list of Modbus capable devices that are supported virtually endless.
This item is a Suite of drivers containing:
- Modbus TCP Ethernet Client/Server
- Modbus RTU Serial Client
- Modbus ASCII Serial Client
- Modbus RTU Server Serial
- Modbus Plus
