Here’s what the documentation and best practices say about your scenario:
✅ Can PAS800 display measurements from PAS600?
Yes, this is possible. The EcoStruxure Panel Server supports a parent-child gateway architecture where a parent Panel Server (PAS800 in your case) can access data from devices connected to a child Panel Server (PAS600). This works through Modbus TCP/IP communication between the two gateways.
How to achieve this?
Follow these steps:
- On the child gateway (PAS600):
- Discover and commission all wireless and serial devices under PAS600 using EcoStruxure Power Commission or the Panel Server webpages.
- Ensure each device has its virtual Modbus server ID assigned (automatically done during discovery).
- On the parent gateway (PAS800):
- Go to Settings > Modbus devices > Device addition > Modbus TCP/IP > Manual addition.
- For each device under PAS600, enter:
- IP address: The IP address of the PAS600 (child gateway).
- Tip: Use a static IP for PAS600 to simplify commissioning.
- Port: Usually 502 (Modbus TCP default).
- Unit ID: The virtual server ID assigned by PAS600 to the wireless or serial device.
- Device type: Select from the drop-down list.
- Repeat for all devices you want to expose on PAS800.
- Result: The PAS800 will act as a Modbus TCP client and retrieve data from PAS600, making those measurements visible on its web server.
Important Notes
- Parameter settings (like contextualization or alarm configuration) entered in PAS600 are not transferred to PAS800. You may need to configure them again on PAS800 if required.
- The parent gateway monitors the Modbus TCP/IP communication status of the child gateway and will raise an alarm if the child disconnects.
- This feature is available on Universal (PAS600) and Advanced (PAS800) models only.

The link you shared from the Schneider Electric Community is correct: the parent-child architecture is supported and works as described above:
