9.7 Industrial Monitoring Operation
The advanced communication capabilities of the CTM-130/132 modem are designed for enabling
communications with remote industrial sites. These sites often operate equipment utilizing industrial
communication protocols such as MODBUS RTU. The CTM-130/132 modem supports the MODBUS
protocol and can be configured for either slave or master connection. In master connection the modem
performs MODBUS ID to IP mapping.
