To add a ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork in the station

Use the following procedure to add a ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork component under the station’s Drivers container.

Only one ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork is needed, even if the JACE host has two Ethernet ports connected to two different (non-routed) TCP/IP LANs. In this case, the destination IP addresses of child ModbusTcpSlaveDevices will automatically determine the Ethernet port utilized.

To add a ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork in the station:

1. Double-click the station’s Drivers container, to bring up the Driver Manager.

2. Click the New button to bring up the New network dialog. For more details, see “Driver Manager New and Edit” in the Drivers Guide.

3. Select “Modbus Tcp Slave Network,” number to add: 1 and click OK.

   This brings up a dialog to name the network.

4. Click OK to add the ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork to the station.

   You should have a ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork named “ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork” (or whatever you named it), under your Drivers folder, initially showing a status of “{ok}” and enabled as “true.”

5. Right-click the ModbusTcpSlaveNetwork and select Views->Property Sheet.

   The Property Sheet appears. See the next section, Review network-level Modbus server configuration.
