Configure the Modbus TCP adapter

AVEVA Adapter for Modbus TCP provides configuration of data source and data selection.

The examples in the configuration topics use curl, a commonly available tool on both Windows and Linux. You can configure the adapter with any programming language or tool that supports making REST calls or with the EdgeCmd utility. For more information, see the EdgeCmd utility documentation. To validate successful configurations, you can perform data retrieval (GET commands) with a browser, if available, on your device.
