Features:
- Network continuity: Carries Modbus TCP traffic between an M340 or M580 project and installed Modbus Plus equipment.
- Clear interfaces: Separate Ethernet and Modbus Plus connectors simplify the cabinet connection plan.
- Commissioning access: Web-based settings and diagnostics support address and data-mapping work.
Schneider Electric positions this proxy within Modicon X80 for plants that need a defined transition between modern controller Ethernet and legacy Modbus Plus assets.
The device sits at the network boundary; its connector groups help distinguish controller traffic from the retained field network during panel planning.
For an RFQ, the installed node addresses, controller arrangement and intended data exchange are more useful than a generic gateway description alone.
Apter Power can provide the Schneider Electric TCSEGDB23F24FA Modbus Plus Proxy Module data sheet, a quotation and sourcing support for your specified network layout.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Controller side: Schneider Electric documents the Ethernet interface for a Modicon M340 or M580 connection, so the controller path can be planned separately from the retained bus.
- Master boundary: Only one Ethernet master is supported by the proxy; a design requiring multiple masters needs a different network review.
- Legacy node addressing: The Modbus Plus address is assigned on rear rotary switches, which helps match the gateway with an existing segment plan.
- Data exchange: Peer Cop, Global Data and register offsets are documented functions, allowing a migration plan to identify which data paths need engineering attention.
- Initial access: Schneider Electric derives the default Ethernet address from the final MAC bytes; identifying that address gives commissioning teams a starting point for the web interface.
- IP planning: The proxy and its M340 interface have separate setup sections, so the controller link and service access can be assigned deliberately.
- Register mapping: The M340 interface exposes register-offset settings; a project using legacy Modicon addressing should map those offsets before cutover.
- Persistent settings: The manufacturer procedure calls for Save to Flash after applying network and mapping changes, protecting the intended configuration across power cycles.
- Live visibility: Schneider Electric lists diagnostic services for the proxy, giving the site team a way to distinguish gateway status from a field-device fault.
- Network management: SNMP support can feed an existing monitoring practice where that service is used in the plant network.
- Device recovery: Fast Device Replacement is documented for this module, supporting a planned restoration workflow when a gateway needs to be exchanged.
- Changed controller IP: Schneider Electric notes that a new M340 address can interrupt communication if an old connection remains; the controller and proxy link should share the intended subnet before service resumes.
- M340 modernization: A Modicon M340 project can use the proxy where existing Modbus Plus equipment remains in service while controller-side communication moves to Ethernet.
- M580 integration: Schneider Electric identifies the gateway for Modicon M580 as well, supporting a staged controller upgrade that still reaches a specified Modbus Plus segment.
- Legacy data continuity: Sites using Modbus Plus Peer Cop or Global Data can assess how those documented exchanges map into the new controller architecture before procurement.
