Modbus connector

Connect FairCom Edge to Modbus devices

FairCom's Modbus connector uses a field bus protocol that enables you to connect to Modbus devices to read and write Modbus data tags to and from devices, such as PLCs. The time between data collection events can be modified. For example, to collect data twice every second, set "dataCollectionIntervalMilliseconds" to 5000.

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.

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