Modbus TCP

The SmartAXIS supports Modbus communications protocols. Modbus TCP protocol can also be used on the built-in Ethernet port,
and can be used as a client (master) or server (slave), to monitor and change data of devices such as inverters and temperature
controllers.
Note: When Pro/Lite is the client (master): up to 3 servers (slaves) can be connected.
When Touch is the client (master): up to 16 servers (slaves) can be connected.

Remote I/O

The remote I/O of the SmartAXIS enables you to expand the number of inputs and outputs by connecting separate SmartAXIS
modules over Ethernet as remote I/O slaves. The total number of I/Os can be expanded up to 144 I/Os. The SmartAXIS remote I/O
master can use the analog inputs on the remote I/O slaves (Pro/Lite only). (Available soon)
