Modbus Poll
Modbus Poll is
a Modbus master simulator designed primarily to help
developers of Modbus slave devices or others that want to test and
simulate the Modbus protocol. With the multiple document interface you can
monitor several Modbus slaves and/or data areas at the same time. For each
window you simply specify the Modbus slave ID, function, address, size and
poll rate. You can read and write registers and coils from any window. If
you want to change a single register, simply double click the value. Or
you can change multiple registers/coils. Multiple data formats such
as float, double and long with word order swapping are available.
Exception errors are shown on the status
line.
If you are a slave developer you can
compose and send your own test strings in the "test center" and
check the result from the slave in hex numbers.
OLE Automation for interfacing with Visual
Basic, Excel etc. To interpret and show the Modbus data according to your
specific requirements. E.g. edit data in Excel and then transmit the data
to your slave device! Try the Excel example.xls installed with the program.
