Modbus TCP class

hello!

I have a question about this class!
we have an project,that we called it power system,it use an simens pac3200,so I was one of the programers who must test this pac3200 whether that support the modbus tcp protocal,all I say is to ask
you if I used this class,it could write the register,couldn't it? one of our programmers design one programm that he test it can read(his programming). your class is very good,since I saw this class,I was worried if "the code project" hadn't had.
I wish your answer

When I downloaded the zip file given above there were no source files inside, only some assorted VS project files, the ModbusTCP.dll and the help file. I'm not sure if what I was expecting (Some sample C++ code on how to use the DLL) is supposed to be there or not.

At any rate, I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to provide me with a short bit of code that demonstrates how to implement this code into a Visual Studio C++ 2005 program. Specifically, binding an event handler to the OnResponseData event. I've done a lot of C programming but I'm fairly new to this managed code malarkey, so if someone's got a very basic example I'd be very much appreciative.

Many thanks,
Travis.

Hi,
I'm a researcher and I appreciated your code beacuse it is simple and good
for students and simple projects.
I converted the project on VS.NET2005 without problems and it already runs well!
I'd like understand if it is easy add the Modbus RTU(or serial) support using
the new serial class in the .net 2 framework.
(http://www.codeproject.com/cs/system/Serialport_COM.asp)
Please let me know if you have some ideas about it.

Thanks,
Nunzio

Hello Nunzio,
it is good to see that someone enjoys this code. I think it is better to do an separate class for serial modbus connection because a lot of the serial device is different. For example the serial driver for .net supports event handling. This makes the thread part of the class no longer necessary. On the other hand you have to build an CRC and a different header. IMHO it makes more sence to build a separate class for serial modbus.

hello, I tried to convert your code INTO vb.net because I need the code for an application on a PDA so that it can communicate on an Ethernet network, but I with have a problem of transform the function of the event especially when one uses it in a structure yew, it asks me to use (raiseevent) but it goes to start an event but not in the structure yew, is what have you a solution for this concern thank you

I have got a project where a pc server(Windows 2000 Server) has to communicate (Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols) with 5 load cells/scales and 5 barcode scanners over the RS232, RS485 and Ethernet interfaces(to complicate the matter further are plans to place a small screen at each scale too).
Each loadcell/scale has its own barcode scanner and they are supposed to work in sync, which means the scanner should read the barcode label belonging the the item on the corresponding scale and report the results to the server. I am a C# VS2005 programmer and have no experience of Modbus protocols. If you mail me your email address I send you as attachment a simple drawing of the test model. Greatful for any tip about how to implement the project.
Hope you will make my problem to one of yours!

I am also very unexperienced in Modbus, but I have to begin with it soon. Maybee the following link might help you for your project:

Hello,
I wrote this class exclusive for Modbus TCP so you cant use it for seriell connection. There is another project in the net that uses VS2005 and support both kind of connections. Maybe this is more suitable for your needs.
