What's in this Chapter?

The TSXCUSBMBP communications adapter is designed to provide a bridge between a simple and inexpensive USB connection and a Modbus Plus Network. The device is a combination of hardware (TSXCUSBMBP) and software drivers (TSXCUSBMBP Driver and Virtual Serial Port) that operate together as a single entity.

The TSXCUSBMBP has its own Modbus Plus Node Address on the Modbus Plus network, which is set via the TSXCUSBMBP Driver software.

The TSXCUSBMBP provides two areas of functionality. The first one allows software applications using serial Modbus RTU communications to communicate on a highspeed Modbus Plus network. The second one provides diagnostic tools for a Modbus Plus network.
