number is set by the manufacturers. Most of them can be modified. It is an actual ID number.
Virtual ID is used to specify the ID Modbus of each connected gateway. When the Modbus master device
accesses the virtual ID, the gateway device converts the virtual ID address into the actual ID address. When the
Modbus slave device responds to the master device, the gateway device will convert the actual ID address to the
virtual ID address. For the Modbus master, it only needs to access the "virtual" ID. The conversion between the
virtual ID and the actual ID is called ID mapping. The Gateway device achieves the function of ID mapping by
