The majority of Modbus TCP devices use port 502. Some devices, like serial to Ethernet converters, can place serial data from a Modbus RTU device on an Ethernet network (encapsulated serial). This is when you would use Port 2000.

MBAP (port 502) is what most people refer to as ModbusTCP/IP.

Port 2000 will produce a standard Modbus RTU packet, including CRC, wrapped in a TCP/IP wrapper. With Port 2000 calls, a TCP/IP device can strip off the TCP/IP wrapper, and then pass the resulting Modbus RTU packet to a serial Modbus device.
