What it does

• Eliminates the need for an additional OPC server by connecting Modbus slaves directly to the DataHub.
• Tunnels Modbus data from your plant OT network to the IT network without exposing the plant to security risks.

Benefits

• Easy and complete configuration of Modbus TCP slave connections.
• Combine with other DataHub features like data logging, WebView, DDE, to optimize the value of your Modbus data.

The DataHub® Modbus OPC Server supports the following features and operations

• Connects to any number of Modbus TCP slave devices.
• Connects to any number of OPC server and client programs.
• Automatic Modbus ↔ OPC protocol conversion built-in.
• Supports SSL encryption for better security.
• Easy configuration through manual point-and-click or XML file import.
• Supports DataHub Scripting.
• Supports asynchronous socket multiplexing in Modbus TCP to share one TCP connection with multiple Modbus devices. This eliminates cross coupling between client timeouts and provides client timing independence.
