Socket Ports

Users can now configure the Modbus TCP/IP protocol to use a configurable socket port instead of the default port 502. Note that all devices using the CIMPLICITY port will use the same socket port.

There are now two global parameters available that enable a system manager to specify the Modbus TCP/IP port number.
