Description: #
libmodbus is a free software library to send/receive data according to the Modbus protocol. This library is written in C and supports RTU (serial) and TCP (Ethernet) communications. The functions included in the library have been designed with the following properties in mind: easy to use, portable (GNU/Linux, Mac OS, FreeBSD, QNX and Windows), high performance, and low memory footprint. The library provides functions to communicate with Modbus devices such as PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and other industrial equipment commonly found in SCADA and OT/ICS environments.
