2.2.2 Modbus Server and Client Applications
The Modbus Server and Client applications are used to transport Modus requests and
responses across IP networks.
responses across IP networks.
The Modbus Client application accepts Modbus polls from a master and determines the IP
address of the corresponding RTU. The client then encapsulates the message in TCP
respecting TCPModbus protocol, and forwards the frame to a Server Gateway or native
TCPModbus RTU. Returning responses are stripped of their TCP headers and issued to the
master.

The Modbus Server application accepts TCP encapsulated TCPModbus messages from Client
Gateways and native masters. After removing the TCP headers the messages are issued to the
