Ethernet properties include the gateway’s IP address and port. These properties apply to the ModbusTcpNetwork, ModbusTcpGateway, and ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork components.
Prerequisites: The network exists in the Nav tree.
- If you have not already done so, navigate to the network node, right-click it and click .
The Property Sheet opens.
- In the
Ip Address property, enter the Modbus gateway’s unique IP address, replace the ###.###.###.### with the IP address.Each ModbusTcpDevice you add under a ModbusTcpNetwork requires the IP address used by that device. Usually, each Modbus TCP device uses this address (only) for communications
with its Modbus address (1-247) often left at 1.
- In the
Port property, review the default 502 value and change this port identifier as needed.This is the standard port used by Modbus TCP.
- While this network’s property sheet is open, review its global Modbus settings.
