I have a system with 4 DL260's communicating via a Modbus/RTU network all connected to Port 2 on the processors. Is it possible to add an ECOM100 to the Master PLC and have it connect to a 5th device via Modbus TCP/IP while the PLC is still acting as the Master on the RTU network This 5th device wants to be a master when connected to a Modbus/RTU but I don't really want to rewrite the software for the system.

Sure. That should not be a problem.
