Configuration of Modbus Compatible Device

Hello,

Currently we have a SCADA system working, but we want to change the IP of the devices in site (Modbus Compatible Device). When we do that, we will have to do port forwarding in the router. Instead of that, is there any way in VTScada to associate the IP Address of the device? in this way, when we change in site the IP Address, we only have to change the value in the SCADA directly instead of do port forwarding (make sure that the router sees the new IP address of the device).

Yes, you can set the IP address to be an experssion that can reference a tag(s) to make the IP address easier to edit. Not something we do unless its really nessesary though due to security/missuse - the below example was for a test system that could be used on different systems where the IP address and Modbus addresses could differ.
