This webinar explains the benefits of using Modbus TCP dual Ethernet port Remote I/O for distributed data acquisition and control, with a focus on the ET-7200 / PET-7200 product line. It starts with a quick review of Modbus RTU vs. Modbus TCP, then shows how dual Ethernet ports enable daisy-chain wiring to reduce switch ports and cabling while maintaining communication to downstream modules using LAN bypass. The video demonstrates how to configure an ET-7200 module using MiniOS7 Utility and a standard web browser, including network settings, I/O configuration, counters, and power-on/safe output values. It then walks through integrating the module with EZ Data Logger for real-time monitoring and trending, and with InduSoft Web Studio for SCADA-style screens, control buttons, alarms, and data logging—highlighting how these modules fit into automation, infrastructure monitoring, and building control applications.
