FairCom Edge Modbus connector
Connect FairCom Edge to Modbus devices
The FairCom Modbus connector uses a field bus protocol that provides the ability 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.
