By acting as a direct interface module on the 1769 backplane, this module enables CompactLogix processors to interface easily with up to two independent Modbus networks. The device functions as either a Modbus Master or Slave, utilizing user-defined memory mapping to transfer up to 240 words of register data per direction. Configuration is managed via the dedicated ProSoft Configuration Builder utility, allowing field engineers to define baud rates, parity, and data transfer offsets without writing complex ladder logic.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: square;
