Allen Bradley Modbus TCP

You are right sorry, that projet i did, was for modbus RTU Master and right after, i did a ML1400 with TCP. I assumed the ethernet of the 1100 work like a 1400 since it is the same platform but it isn't.

Ken also point a good one, I had control of both side to map in each soft like you would do inside a single gateway program...
It was more like a cheap than a great option...

I almost bought one (1100) and designed a panel around it to save $500 assuming it could do Modbus TCP. I am glad I don't trust myself that much and went ahead and did a program conversion first and found it was a no go before I invested time and money pursuing that further. That is the reason I chimed in with the correction, because it is a recent assumption I almost followed through on.

SoftPLC has gateways that are a good option.

I would go with a protocol converter like a Data Station Plus from Red Lion to do this.
