Hi everyone,

Is it possible to communicate with Modbus ASCII in Ignition?  
There is no native Modbus ASCII driver in Ignition, but I would like to know if there are any cases where communication has been achieved through a converter or so.

Thank you in advance.

Any of the hardware Modbus TCP Gateways (Moxa MGate, etc...) that convert Modbus RTU/ASCII to Modbus TCP should work with Ignition's Modbus TCP driver.

Thanks!  
I'll buy Moxa MGate converter and try.  
Fix this issue.
