Modbus Ethernet

Product Overview

The Modbus Ethernet driver enables ThingWorx Kepware Edge to connect to devices that utilize the popular Modbus protocol. By converting from Modbus to more secure and efficient protocols directly at the edge, users can secure communications and reduce costly network traffic.

The ThingWorx Kepware Edge Modbus Ethernet driver includes different features and functionality from the KEPServerEX Modbus Ethernet driver, but offers the quality, reliability, and security of all Kepware products. Users can rely on the Modbus Ethernet driver built into ThingWorx Kepware Edge without fear of communication-related downtime.

The Modbus Ethernet driver also provides access to Modbus Ethernet protocol compliant devices for ThingWorx. Users of ThingWorx, the leading Industrial IoT platform, can now connect to these devices in a Linux environment using ThingWorx Kepware Edge.
