Is this possible? I have a plc that acts as a master only and I wanna pull its data through ignition. I am using modbus tcp. I connected it under devices. But the tags keep going green and red and it ain’t working and im thinking bc they’re both masters.

You can use my [alternate Modbus module](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/automation-professionals-llc-advanced-modbus)--it is both a server and offers additional features in its master.
