If it does not have a an Ethernet port on it then you are going to need a Modbus Plus to Modbus Ethernet Gateway. It looks like Avtron makes a board for the Automax that does MB Etherent (http://www.avtron.com/netmax.htm)

I am not sure of the actual Automax hardware they have, but if it is of the older vintage that might also be an option.

Are you wanting to go MB+ to Modbus TCP/IP or to an Allen Bradley Ethernet protocol over TCP/IP?
