hello everyone,
i have to perform a communication between Modbus master device and slave device. the master device is a plc which can be programmed from a webpage and also can be configured from there. the Slave devices are normal actuator I/Os. the parity and the baudrate can be set manual on the device itself.
the question is: how can i get the address of a slave?
in the datasheet is written that the devices can be addressed from 1 to 100 but this couldn't make me a lot of sense.
is there a software available which can use to scan my network to detect slaves and by detecting a new device can i give this device a unique address from the range 1 to 100?
i hope that someone can help me.
