New Modbus mapper feature

[zoltan]

Hi Zoltan,

I think what you are asking for is already existing in a ModBus scanner tools, that are available free of charge. Basically when it comes to ModBus integration, I always use first such scanner tool together with RS232/RS485 interface to make some tests, to check communication and register values at the slave. After that I am implementing ModBus integration to the system.
I have found it is the fastest way, much faster then to load configuration to the device test, change, test, test .... etc ....
Of course the feature above is a great help, but personally I will stay on a scanner tool that has many more features for testing the communication.

Hi George,

Yes, it exist in the form of standalone tool(s), but this is an announcement of a new functionality in the LM itself. That's why I jumped in and asked for that additional touch, it should be trivial after the rest is already done. Then this little tool can be really handy.

I personally prefer the same method you suggested, and never blindly trust the documentation or the 3rd party technicians words - I test all and every data points before integration. But you don't always have  a USB to RS485 converter at hand, or this is maybe your first time doing modbus so you don't have one at all.
