Banner SureCross DX80 - Modbus RTU with Multiple Slave Devices

6.2.2 Modbus RTU with Multiple Slave Devices
In the example host controlled configuration, the Gateway is a Modbus slave to the host system, but remains the master of the wireless
network.
The Gateway is connected directly to the host system using an RS-485 serial cable. This system may also connect DX85
Modbus RTU Remote I/O devices to the serial cable to expand the available I/O. The Gateway and each DX85 connected as
shown below are Modbus slave devices to the host system.
Purpose: This wireless network also collects I/O data and sends it back to a Modbus host system, but adds local wired I/O
points.
