Description
The CODESYS Modbus Serial Device enables a CODESYS-capable controller to register as a Modbus serial slave in a Modbus network. For CODESYS-compatible controllers can use this functionality, they require a COM port for communication. The CODESYS Modbus Serial Device product integrates this functionality seamlessly into the existing controller. During project engineering, the Modbus Serial Device is included in the device tree of an IEC 61131-3 project. Then configuration is performed directly in the development environment.
