MODBUS RTU device discovery and automatic address assignment
Jun 13, 2008 7:06 pm, by Ben Kinsella
Subject : Networking
from the Automation List dept.
Text :
I would like to plug a new device into a MODBUS RTU network, have the server discover that a new device is present, and let the server assign the device's address from a list of currently unused addresses. Is this allowed / possible?
