About This File
This package contains the Plasmionique Modbus Master library for LabVIEW.
It supports RTU, ASCII and TCP modes with the following function codes:
0x01 - Read Coils
0x02 - Read Discrete Inputs
0x03 - Read Holding Registers
0x04 - Read Input Registers
0x05 - Write Single Coil
0x06 - Write Single Register
0x07 - Read Exception Status
0x0F - Write Multiple Coils
0x10 - Write Multiple Registers
0x16 - Mask Write Register
0x17 - Read/Write Multiple Registers
0x2B/0x0E - Read Device Identification
Other features include:
- Sharing a COM port across multiple Modbus sessions using VISA locks (10 second timeout).
- Sharing a Modbus session across multiple communication loops.
- TCP transaction ID handling to ensure that requests and responses are matched up correctly in case responses are received out of order.
- Modbus Comm Tester, available through the "Tools->Plasmionique" menu, for testing communication with a slave device without writing any code.
- Detailed help document available through the "Help->Plasmionique" menu.
Examples are included in "<LabVIEW>\examples\Plasmionique\MB Master\":

Note that Version 1.3.4 of this library has been certified compatible with LabVIEW and has been released on the LabVIEW Tools Network: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/214230
The most recent version of this library will always be released on LAVA first before going through NI's certification process.
