Modbus Driver on the TC Series Platform Functionality Notes on System Architecture The Modbus Driver as RTU Master, Modbus TCP Client, and Modbus RTU over Ethernet (Figure 1) supports the following: ● BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP ALN on Firmware 3.x. If the driver is on a BACnet MS/TP network, you can use a standard field panel with Firmware Revision 3.1 or later as a router to connect to a BACnet workstation. Do not use an Integration Driver as the router.
Modbus Driver on the TC Series Platform Functionality Functionality The Modbus Driver provides communication between the Siemens Automation System and the vendor's Modbus system. The Modbus Driver can be loaded into TC Modular or TC-36 hardware. The driver is a microprocessor-based, multi-tasking platform designed for multi-system communication and control. The Modbus Driver communicates with Siemens software, other TALON field panels and controllers, and the vendor's Modbus system.
