USER MANUAL – Z-KEY
10.
Gateway Modbus TCP-IP / Modbus RTU (Port 1 and Port 2 Modbus
Master)
In this scenario a Modbus TCP-IP master is connected with ethernet to Z-KEY, one or more Modbus RTU
slaves (for example the Z-PC Seneca Series) are connected to the RS232/RS485 serial ports.
The Z-Key configured in Gateway is used for optimizing the Network performance and Modbus TCP-IP PLC
software. Also PLCs like Siemens™ can be connected with Modbus RTU slaves by using the free standard
Modbus TCP-IP library without the need of a customization.
A typical LAN connection is represented into this figure:
Also a remote communication through internet with multiple clients is possible, with the gateway
configuration the tags are visible through the internal webserver:
