Connecting Unix System to Windows System
I am trying to communicate two computers. One of the computers has Unix like operating system and the other one has Windows, on both computers I have a HMI systems.
The HMI in the computer with Unix has a protocol that talks Modbus (like master).
In the computer with Windows I want to install a Modicon Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet (like slave) to communicate both computers.How can I configure the Server to do this?
The TOP Server Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet driver will support this if you configure the Device ID to the Windows PC IP address it is installed on. This will force it to be a Modbus Server.
TOP Server can be downloaded here.
The other option is to use the Cogent DataHub with it's Linux API. This combination will let you get any OPC DA data into your Linux system.
