Can I use Modbus RTU in TCP/UDP with RemoteConnect to communicate to remote SCADAPack x70 devices?

In certain circumstances a user may wish to use  Modbus RTU in/over UDP protocol to communicate to remote x70 devices over a cellular network or serial to ethernet gateway. Currently there is no option for this in RemoteConnect.

The options for the PC communications DTM are listed below:

DNP3 USB
DNP3 Serial*
DNP3/TCP
DNP3/UDP
Modbus/TCP USB
Modbus RTU*
Modbus/TCP

* If using a serial connection, the logic editor is not avialeble as the logic editor requires a TCP/IP connection

These are accessed via the PC Communication Settings - SCADAPack CommDTM
