Yes in theory it should be. It is up to you to control which system can read or write to the variable.

However, the Modbus TCP standard supports multiple masters - you just have to ensure only one is writing to a variable. So - in theory - you should only need one CI867. Theres no information in the manuals about whether this is supported or not. If this doesnt work you could probably use a Moxa MGate modbus gateway.
