Hi All,
In case of MODBUS TCP should the Slave ID be checked by a slave when it receives a frame? I am asking this question because in case of MODBUS TCP (unlike MODBUS Serial), the Slave is already addressed by the IP Address. In this case is the Slave ID field in the MODBUS frame ignorable? I have noticed that the MODBUS drivers of some HMI applications like Intellution FIX 32, Wonderware Intouch do not have any field to provide the Slave ID parameter but simply transmit '1' as the Slave ID.
