Modbus / Re: MODBUS setup tutorial

« on: January 18, 2013, 03:43:52 PM »

I would have to assume that there is a way to make this connection. However I do not have the hardware handy to be able to verify that. But looking at general information provided at http://machmotion.com/ It appears that the controller is a full fledged PC. So I would assume that you could setup a serial connection between the PC and the C-more. I've never had a need to do that, and I don't see any reason why it can't be done.

Modbus / MODBUS setup tutorial

« on: January 07, 2013, 01:23:02 PM »

Not to spam this forum, but I see a lot people asking about setting up MODBUS with an Arduino. I could not find good information that covered both hardware and software. So after I fought with getting to work I created a quick blog post to help explain how to set it up. I cover a connection with a C-more HMI, but the basics translate while to this.

Modbus / Re: Arduino Modbus, Complete, Documented and free

To anyone who might be interested, I have created a tutorial of how setup an Arduino as MODBUS slave that covers both the hardware and software configs. I cover a connection with a C-more HMI, but the basics translate while to this.

I, for one, would like to thank Schilling for his efforts. While I could not get his library working, mostly due to the "Wporgram.h" issue. His website was very informative and is a great resource for someone who has little experience working with MODBUS. 

At some point I do plan on revisiting his library with the updated edit to include "Arduino.h"
