Modbus Server driver

The Modbus Server driver performs the functions of a Modbus server device. The Modbus Server supports the MODBUS® Application Protocol Specification, V1.1b specification. The Modbus Server supports communications from Modbus clients across both an Ethernet TCP/IP connection and an RS-232 Serial connection.

This guide describes how to use the Modbus Server device driver (referred to as the Modbus Server) in conjunction with the runtime and the Workbench.
