I am trying to configure some schneide meters, the connection is as follows:

schneider meter ----(RTU)----\> gateway scheider ----(TCP)----\> Server.

I do not know which is the configuration that I should use since there is nothing schneider  
I thank you for your time.

Your talking about for configuring the device? You don’t have Modbus RTU over TCP as a choice when you go to create a OPC-UA server device?

If the gateway is doing Modbus TCP to RTU conversion then you just need the regular Modbus TCP driver.

If the gateway is just a brainless serial to ethernet converter you need Modbus RTU over TCP.

Hi Kevin / bpreston, this is the schema

I already configured the gateway, but I do not know how to do it with the meters.
