FairCom Edge Modbus connector

Connect FairCom Edge to Modbus devices

Abstract

The FairCom Modbus connector provides the ability to connect to Modbus devices for seamless access to Modbus tags.

Note

A tag is a piece of named data with an associated value. For example, the tag temperature 70 includes both the named data temperature and the value 70. In JSON, a tag is a JSON property, such as "temperature": 70. In a SQL table, a tag is a data field, such as a field named temperature with a value of 70.
