Driver for General Device using MODBUS TCP

Post by johannesomni »

Hi,

I'm using the iX T7A, and I am hoping to read variables on a meter device that has variable values stored at particular MODBUS addresses. I want to use MODBUS TCP with Ethernet to access these values with the HMI, and I am wondering if there is a particular driver I should use. (e.g. Modicon Modbus Master, Schneider Electric Modbus, or WAGO Modbus TCP)

The meter is not manufactured by any of those companies, but I'm assuming I can still use an available driver to read values from Modbus addresses. I'm wondering which is the most general-purpose driver.

Thanks.

iX Developer has a generic modbus driver under the Modicon option in the Driver list
