Configuring a Modbus Plus
Network in Modsoft with Peer Cop
At a Glance
Purpose
Communication transactions over Modbus Plus are defined in Modsoft 2.6 by a
configuration tool called Peer Cop. This section uses examples to explain how to
use Peer Cop to configure the two types of network architecture:
An I/O network, where the Peer Cop of the CPU defines all the communication
transactions over the full network.
A supervisory network with two or more CPUs communicating with each other
and with additional devices on the network.
