11.3.2  Modbus TCP Data Exchange 
11.3.2.1  Modbus TCP Data Exchange 
Data exchange between electronic devices can be achieved via Modbus TCP protocol.    Through Modbus TCP 
protocol, users can exchange data among Delta devices and any 3
rd
 party devices, as long as they comply with 
the Modbus TCP standard. A chart showing information concerning Modbus TCP data exchange is provided 
below.

*1. The maximum number of connections is equal to the number of Modbus TCP data exchange blocks plus the 
number of Ether Link data exchange blocks. The number of Ether Link data exchange blocks in a PLC is the 
number of nodes of which the PLC demands data, and the nodes to which the PLC provides data are not counted.
