The inRAx Modbus Master/Slave
Communication Module allows Rockwell Automation
SLC processors to interface easily with other Modbus
protocol compatible devices.
Compatible devices include not only Modicon PLCs
Modbus Master/Slave (which all support the Modbus protocol) but also a wide
Communication Module assortment of end devices. The module acts as an
3150-MCM input/output module between the Modbus network and
the Rockwell Automation backplane. The data transfer
