Modbus OPC server

Modbus OPC server is designed to provide OPC clients with access to MODBUS-supporting devices. It supports multiple protocols and functions, as well as communication channels, and it can be run as a standard Windows service.

The MODBUS protocol has become a popular means of connecting various electronic devices, from basic input/output modules to full-featured controllers. It relies on a standard client-server architecture and is used by a wide range of manufacturers.

Modbus OPC server facilitates data exchange between MODBUS devices and OPC clients. It supports the MODBUS RTU, TCP and ASCII protocol specifications, as well as COM ports and TCP connections, along with a number of MODBUS functions.

The application is capable of searching for connected devices automatically, with the aim of reducing the time required to configure the OPC server.

Configurations can be exported to the CSV format and imported at a later date, which should help you complete the necessary operations in future sessions.

It is possible to set up the OPC server without any existing OPC client connections, as well as diagnose potential issues in automated system development by creating a distinction between SCADA level errors and device survey errors.

Moreover, Modbus OPC server makes it possible to emulate tag values in order to debug projects even without physical access to metering instruments.

The user interface is split into two primary panels. The left-hand panel lists the configuration tree, while the right-hand one displays item properties and monitoring data.

The toolbar contains a series of buttons that duplicate items found in the main menu, but is designed to provide easier access to various program functions.
