Software turns computer into controller
Driver supports most Modbus commands on TCP/IP and UDP/IP for embedded software product that turns a computer into a programmable automation controller.
SoftPLC Corp has a Modbus and TCP slave driver for SoftPLC v4.x This driver supports most Modbus commands on TCP/IP and UDP/IP
The SoftPLC runtime control software is an embedded software product that turns a computer into a programmable automation controller.
SoftPLC supports Topdoc loadable modules (TLMs), which are shared library extensions to SoftPLC.
SoftPLC Corp has implemented a Modbus IP slave driver as a TLM, available for all controllers based on SoftPLC runtime control software v4.x and later.
The TLM implements the slave (or server) side of the Modbus TCP protocol.
As an extension of the standard, it also implements the same protocol on UDP/IP.
This TLM may be used to talk to an HMI GUI station or to talk between other controllers on an Ethernet.
This driver can be used without any application program logic required.
