Flexy as Modbus Slave

Hi,
We have a Schneider M221 PLC which acts as a Modbus master to control some VFDs. We now want to add a Flexy 201 for data monitoring, is it possible to add the Flexy as a slave also? If not is there any work-around which would leave the PLC still able to control the VFDs and the Flexy able to connect?

Thanks

Hello,

The ewon unit would act as the Master for this situation. The Flexy would be sending/recieving the data from the Siemens for monitoring. You can forgo the monitoring and connect all the units on save subnet. This will still allow communication between all the units, if the connections are Ethernent/IP.

I would advise contacting our inside sales department. They would be able to assist you in selecting the right product for you.
