Once configured, the X-Link emulates a station on the Modbus Plus
network. It can send messages to other stations and receive messages from
other stations. This section outlines the requirements and compatibilities of
this communication.

Modicon SA85 card. The X-Link Modbus Plus driver supports either the
redundant or non-redundant version of the SA85.
Installation and cabling requirements are detailed in the SA85 user manual,
Modicon IBM Host Based Devices User's Guide GM-HBDS-001 Rev. D.
2.2 Compatibilities
