I'd like to program a TCP/IP Modbus driver to work with .NET so I can then develop an HMI. I want to do this from the ground up, but I'm not sure where to start.
I've spent the day looking around for a Modbus driver that will work for me that is free, but one doesn't seem to exist. There are free demos, OPC servers, and simulators, but I want a truly open source modbus driver OR the ability to program my own. Kepware costs, Automated Solutions costs, FieldTalk costs, and open source stuff out there is in Java or Python.
If there is a completely free Modbus TCP/IP dll that's out there, I'd be interested in it. If not, however, I need to figure out where to get started building from the ground up.
I'm not yet a very advanced programmer, but it's things like this that help us become more advanced, right? This community has already been a tremendous help in other areas, so I'm confident you'll have good insight on this matter.
Thanks for your time and attention. I look forward to your responses.
