Modbus TCP/IP Client to Siemens S7 PLC Protocol Gateway
The easiest way to connect a Modbus TCP/IP client device to Siemens S7 PLCs. The 460MSSC protocol gateway allows you to connect a Modbus TCP client device to up to five Siemens S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLCs.

Price range: $896.72 through $1,035.00
Connect Your Modbus TCP/IP Client Device Directly to Your Siemens S7 PLC Data Table
The 460MSSC connects a Modbus TCP/IP client device to up to five different Siemens S7 PLCs, helping you integrate Modbus TCP-based controllers and supervisory systems into a Siemens architecture without writing custom logic or downloading software.
How Does the 460MSSC Gateway Move Data In and Out of PLC?
In your Siemens S7 PLC, you allocate two data areas:
- A user-defined set of output addresses for sending data to your Modbus TCP client device
- A user-defined set of input-only addresses for receiving data from your Modbus TCP client device
Using a browser-based interface, you directly map Modbus TCP client register and coil data into the designated Input (I), Output (Q) and Data Blocks (DB) within the data table of your Siemens S7 PLC.
Need to modify your data as it passes from one protocol to the other? No problem. Modify each data mapping with up to three mathematical functions.
It’s really that simple.

What our Customers are Saying
“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”
Eric P. / Kendall Electric
“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
