1.8 As a Modbus Gateway for the Remote I/O Modules
I-7188EG &uPAC-7186EG/PEG can be a Modbus RTU Serial & TCP/IP gateway of I-7000 & I-87K Series
I/O modules.
I-7188XG can be a Modbus RTU Serial gateway of I-7000 & I-87K Series I/O modules.
All ISaGRAF PACs support this feature:
The PACs with Ethernet port support both communications;
The PACs without Ethernet port support Modbus Serial communication only.
1.9 Data Exchange: Fbus or Ebus
PAC to PAC data exchange
Ebus (Ethernet) : PAC-7186EG(D)/PEG(D), I-7188EG(D)
