Creating a Modbus/TCP data source
NOTE: You must install and configure the Modbus base station in your data center before
you can create a Modbus/TCP data source. You must create a Modbus/TCP data source for
every Modbus Base Station you have installed in your data center. For more information
about installing this device, see the HP Environmental Edge Hardware Installation Guide.
A Modbus/TCP data source uses TCP/IP over Ethernet to gather data from the equipment in the Modbus
network.
You create a Modbus/TCP data source to configure any equipment or BMS system that uses Modbus
interface. The Modbus/TCP network can include Modbus/RTU devices, such as an Energy base station,
connected in a daisy-chain configuration to a RTU to TCP converter, which is then referred to as the
Modbus gateway base station.
