How many no of Modbus RTU slaves can be considered in a Modbus TCP/IP communication Card in AC 800 M controllers
As part of Modbus TCP/IP Card Sizing, I am considering 32 modbus RTU Slaves in a single Modbus TCP/IP Card through a single Modbus TCP/IP to serial Converter, Please confirm me is it with in the limit? what are the limitation are there other than the slave count?

ABB recommends not to use more than 4 Modbus RTU slaves through single Modbus TCP/IP to serial converter.
Please see pg 93 of doc "3BSE035982-510_en_AC_800M_5.1_Communication_Protocols.pdf ".
However it can be increased depends on slave response time but 32 modbus RTU Slaves through single Modbus TCP/IP to serial converter seems to be not feasible.
