This is a utility that can be used on several operating systems, which can communicate with connected equipment using Modbus/ASCII, Modbus/RTU and Modbus/TCP protocols. The basic communication protocol of the program is Modbus, but DCON was also implemented due to communication with other devices (e.g. ADAM). The range of foreign protocols may be expanded later. The program is designed for DOS, Windows and Unix-like operating systems.
