# Connect Modbus TCP devices through an IoT Edge device gateway

If you want to connect IoT devices that use Modbus TCP or RTU protocols to an Azure IoT hub, use an IoT Edge device as a gateway. The gateway device reads data from your Modbus devices, then communicates that data to the cloud using a supported protocol.

If you want to test the Modbus gateway functionality, Microsoft has a sample module that you can use. You can access the module from the Azure Marketplace, [Modbus](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/microsoft_iot.edge-modbus?tab=Overview), or with the image URI, **mcr.microsoft.com/azureiotedge/modbus:1.0**.

If you want to create your own module and customize it for your environment, there is an open-source [Azure IoT Edge Modbus module](https://github.com/Azure/iot-edge-modbus) project on GitHub. Follow the guidance in that project to create your own container image. To create a container image, refer to [Develop C# modules in Visual Studio](how-to-visual-studio-develop-csharp-module.md) or [Develop modules in Visual Studio Code](how-to-vs-code-develop-module.md). Those articles provide instructions on creating new modules and publishing container images to a registry.
