I need to implement a simple-minded modbus-TCP slave in an embedded Linux system.
My first port of call would have been TuxPLC, but that seems to have evaporated - anyone know why?
In the absence, does anyone have a recommendation about where to start? There seem to be a couple of commercial...
I am aware that Modbus is seen as a set of 16-bit registers.
I am aware that some of the numbers I'll want to read across a Modbus will need >1 adjacent 16-bit registers - floating point for instance needs 2 or 4.
Similarly some data will neeed 32-bit integers, which could suffer in the same...
I'd like to find out what number formats are in use in a representative range of PLCs. I guess there's nowhere better to ask ???
We're reading values out of them across modbus. I want to know what possible formats I an expect to meet.
I don't know how much flexibility the PLCs give to the...
