The Modbus function is used by the GX/GP and external Modbus devices to perform
communication and data reading and writing.
The GX/GP can operate as a Modbus client. The maximum number of connectable servers
is 16 for the GX20-1/GP20-1/GX10/GP10 and 32 for the GX20-2/GP20-2.
The GX/GP can connect to another device (Modbus server) via Modbus/TCP and read from
and write to the device’s internal registers. Read data can be handled using communication
channels. Data that can be written are I/O channel data, math channel data, and
communication channel data.
