Using the example project below, you can easily build a basic Modbus protocol simulator or analyzer and extend it to meet your
own requirements, e.g. sending or receiving a specific type of Modbus function.

Docklight’s checksum generation and validation capabilities allow you to easily generate own Modbus RTU frames as well as detecting
a valid Modbus RTU frame within a data stream.
