6.1.3 Gateway Configured as a Modbus Master
This example network uses the Gateway as master of the wireless network and master of the Modbus network. This
configuration is used when the I/O capacity of the Gateway is exceeded.
The Gateway is configured with a table of mapping entries that allow the DX85 Modbus RTU Remote I/O devices (as
Modbus slaves) to be mapped to the wireless Nodes. The DX85 devices add additional I/O points to the network through
hard-wired fieldbus connections on the Gateway side.
