Allen Bradley SLC5/04 as a Modbus Slave
Allen Bradley SLC5/04 as a Modbus Slave
(OP)
Has anyone sucessfully integrated an Allen Bradley SLC5/04 as a modbus slave using the com ports on the processor?
I am doing a retrofit on a system and there isn't any space left in the chassis. I want to avoid adding an expansion chassis and going with the Prosoft module if I can.
Thanks in advance.

I wish you luck in finding a positive response to your query, but I'm doubtful.

I wouldn't try to implement a general-purpose Modbus slave using the ASCII mode; the cost in time will very likely exceed the cost of a hardware solution.
Here are a couple of hardware protocol converters that I like:
