Among the Siemens proprietary protocol SIMATIC S7 the LOGO!7 supports Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP The LOGO!8 can act as both server or client.
A modbus server (or Slave) offers services as measured data or outputs. It is on its own passive on the net.
A modbus client (or Master) initiates commands on the net and looks for a server that acts.
Registers on LOGO!8 are always 16bit wide. Reading a 32bit wide value from a remote device goes therefore into two holding registers of the LOGO!8 and result in two 16bit values. Little or Big endian and signed values are also an issue.
