Adding a virtual Modbus gateway object
A virtual Modbus gateway is a symbolic device used to associate the Modbus base stations within a
Modbus data source. Certain Modbus devices can connect directly to the Edge server, and do not require
a physical Modbus gateway to communicate to the server. In these circumstances, a virtual Modbus
gateway is added to the Configurator to symbolize the associations within the Modbus data source. It is
not required for your Modbus configuration.
To add a virtual Modbus gateway to your floor plan:
1. Select Configurations>General>Virtual.
