Communicate AC800F signals through modbus TCP

Hello,

I need to communicate an AC800F with an RTU through ModBus TCP but I'm not sure if that's possible with the actual system. I have an AC800F with an EI 803F module connected to a switch where the RTU is also connected. Can you please help me? Is it possible to configure the AC800F to transmit using ModBus?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Please note in Freelance 2013 SP1 AC 800F supports Modbus TCP, So in that version it's straight forward communicate with rtu over modbus tcp. if you have version lower than F2013 SP1 then as suggested in second answer use converter rtu/tcp. note that in AC 800F you need card CI820F and TB 870 with cable TK821.

Hope that helps...

If you are with version lower then 2013 then you need new license. for upgrade of sw/license cost effective way is go with automation sentinel

Also would like to add If you are installing new version on new PC where there is no parallel port then you need to buy new usb(hardware key)

If AC 800F is with Freelance 2013 SP1 firmware and greater version then Ethernet cards starting with EI 801/02/03/11/12/13 can support Modbus TCP on AC 800F. I guess even FF card FI 840F can also support Modbus TCP.
