7 Adding the TAC Xenta 913 to the
LonWorks Network
Before you can connect the signals from the Modbus devices to devices
on the LonWorks network, you install the Xenta 913 on the LonWorks
network. This is done so that the Xenta 913 can transfer data from the
Modbus device to, in the example, the RTU4 device.
