Sergio,
It appears your INT30B is using the standard Modbus driver to communicate
with the S7 PLC.  This should work fine with the Prosoft modules as well.
In your ECB16s you probably need to make a couple changes.  If memory
serves, you'll probably want to change PCTYPE from 4 to 2.  PCADDR will be
set to the address of the Prosoft module.  You'll need to check your Prosoft
manual to see if the module supports heartbeat (HBEAT option), and multiple
writes (MULTWR, 0 uses modbus function 5 and 6, 1 uses modbus function 15
and 16).

You'll want to check your ECBPG block also and confirm address, baud rate &
comms parameters, and probably review your settings for retries and response
times (BUSTYP and PIOWDT).

Foxboro manual B0193RL has details on configuration for these Modbus
Integrators.

Cheers,

Kevin
