9.1. How it works
The Bridge Modbus TCP-IP to Modbus RTU is the simplest way to communicate with Modbus RTU slaves by
an ethernet connection.
There is no need to configure which registers must be requested because the conversion from Ethernet to
serial is executed in real time.
Only the serial configuration must be made (baud rate, parity etc...).
The Master (client) Modbus TCP-IP request a modbus register by ethernet, then the Z-KEY convert the
request to the serial Modbus RTU slave, the Modbus RTU response is also retranslated in Modbus TCP to
the Master.
CAUTION!
It's not possible to connect two Modbus RTU slaves with the same Modbus address, if you need to connect 2
Modbus RTU slaves with the same Modbus address (not configurable) you must use 2 Z-KEYs.
9.2. Modbus Bridge Webserver configuration
Connect to the webserver by entering the ip address, by default:
USER MANUAL – Z-KEY
24

Do you have a question about the Z-KEY and is the answer not in the manual?
