Note

Modbus TCP is a simple bus protocol. It is recommended to read or write about 100 words at a time. The communication cycle for a single read or write is about 70 ms. When available, choose as much as possible real-time Ethernet protocols such as PROFINET and Ethernet/IP, Siemens Snap7 (corresponding to Siemens PLC Client in Mech-Mind Standard Interface communication), or Mitsubishi MELSEC (referred to as MC protocol).
