Hooking up to 14 devices in modbus

I love that I can now connect to more than 4 simultaneous devices on modbus TCP!  But I also have a project coming up where I would need to hook into, say, 14 of them. As such, what is the firm-and-fast, not-to-exceed number of modbus devices I can connect to simultaneously on TCP?

 

Thanks!

I've never gotten an answer to the question as to why the Vision PLCs were limited to 4 simultaneous connection (4 available sockets). Is it hardware or software? And since it was so definitive with the Vision PLCs, why don't you have a definitive answer with the UniLogic PLCs?

Hi,

In the future we will add the option to copy slave and have HMI variable that the user will be able to enter the slave ID/IP.

Currently for each slave you configure in UniLogic, in its properties you can find a parameter "Active" - you can link a bit to this parameter and then you can disable/enable a specific slave.

You can also set "Active" bit for each one of the MODBUS commands.
