I want to set the ignition edge as the modbus server(slave), then I can set aside some memory, so the client can access the server via modbus tcp protocol.

Is it possible? Does igntion have a module to play as the modbus slave/server?

{ @chaoling has already found my [Advanced Modbus module](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/automation-professionals-llc-advanced-modbus) and contacted me offline. }

How can I use this module if I have one Main Gateway and other one as Redundancy?
