Using TOP Server with an Ethernet-Modbus Plus Bridge

Is it possible to use the TOP Server Modbus Plus driver when communicating with a Modbus Plus network through a Ethernet-MB+ bridge? e.g. a 174CEV20040?

Absolutely! TOP Server is able to utilize these bridges to "convert" TCP packets to Modbus Plus.

The driver that will be utilized is the TOP Server Modbus TCP/IP driver (NOT The Modbus Plus driver), and the device ID will take the form of:

<BridgeIP>.<DeviceNodeNumber>

The node number will be the number assigned in the bridge lookup table.

For information on configuring the TOP Server Modbus driver, please reference our collection of Application notes and How-To videos.
