Can TOP Server Modbus Ethernet Talk to a Moxa NPort6110 ?
I am using a Moxa (https://www.moxa.com/en) NPort6110 to convert a Modbus serial master signal in one system to a Modbus TCP signal - I need to then talk to a Modbus Ethernet Slave I/O or OPC server that I can then connect up to Wonderware InTouch.
Can I use the Modbus Ethernet TOP Server to do this? How?
Yes, the TOP Server Modbus Ethernet driver can be put into a slave mode by simply setting the IP of the device in the Device properties dialog in TOP Server to 127.0.0.1.0. Be sure and include the trailing "0" as shown.
The TOP Server will then respond to Modbus TCP Master requests sent to the IP address of the computer you have the TOP Server loaded on.
You can connect the TOP Server to Wonderware using Suitelink. (click for details)
We have customers in the field using the Moxa N6110 in exactly this configuration.
A demo version of TOP Server is available for trial here.
