Highlights

  • Most Complete Protocol: Implements Modbus Application Protocol Specification V1.1b3 with all 19 function codes (12 public + 7 advanced), covering over 99% of common industrial operations; supports the Enron/Daniel floating-point extension for oil & gas registers
  • Multiple Transport Variants: ModbusTCP, ModbusTCP/TLS (encrypted), ModbusUDP, ModbusRTU (serial), ModbusASCII (serial), ModbusRtuOverTCP, ModbusRtuOverUDP, ModbusRtuSimple — 8 variants in total
  • Full Master & Slave: Complete implementations of both Master (client) and Slave (server), with Slave supporting concurrent multi-client connections
  • Zero-Allocation Encoding: Hot paths use SpanReader / SpanWriter for zero-allocation encoding/decoding, reducing GC pressure
  • Batch Optimization: BuildSegments automatically merges consecutive addresses, reading multiple points in a single request to reduce polling overhead
  • IoT Driver Integration: Implements the IDriver standard interface for zero-code integration with IoTEdge platform, with 6 drivers to choose from
  • Advanced Features: Auto-reconnect, async/await API, multi-slave network model, custom function code registration, broadcast mode
  • Lightweight Serial: ModbusRtuSimple targets resource-constrained edge devices with fewer dependencies and smaller memory footprint
  • APM Observability: Built-in ITracer tracing and ILog logging support, integrated with Stardust distributed platform
  • Multi-Framework: net45 / net462 / netstandard2.0 / netstandard2.1 / net6.0 / net7.0 / net8.0 / net9.0 / net10.0

Quick Start

Install NuGet Package

# TCP/UDP scenario (no serial port needed)
dotnet add package NewLife.Modbus

# Serial RTU/ASCII scenario
dotnet add package NewLife.ModbusRTU

Master - ModbusTCP Read/Write Registers

using NewLife.IoT.Protocols;

// Create ModbusTCP connection
var modbus = new ModbusTcp
{
    Server = "192.168.1.100:502",
    Timeout = 3000,
    Log = XTrace.Log,       // Optional: enable communication log
};
modbus.Open();

// Read holding registers (FC03), station 1, starting address 0, read 10 registers
var registers = modbus.ReadRegister(host: 1, address: 0, count: 10);
Console.WriteLine($"Register values: {registers?.Join(", ")}");

// Read coils (FC01)
var coils = modbus.ReadCoil(host: 1, address: 0, count: 8);
Console.WriteLine($"Coil states: {coils?.Join(", ")}");

// Write single register (FC06)
modbus.WriteRegister(host: 1, address: 0, value: 1234);

// Write multiple registers (FC16)
modbus.WriteRegisters(host: 1, address: 0, values: [100, 200, 300]);

// Write single coil (FC05)
modbus.WriteCoil(host: 1, address: 0, value: true);

Master - ModbusRTU Serial Communication

using NewLife.IoT.Protocols;

// Create ModbusRTU serial connection
var modbus = new ModbusRtu
{
    PortName = "COM3",       // Windows: "COM3", Linux: "/dev/ttyS0"
    Baudrate = 9600,
    Log = XTrace.Log,
};
modbus.Open();

// Read holding registers (FC03)
var registers = modbus.ReadRegister(host: 1, address: 0, count: 5);

// Write multiple registers (FC16)
modbus.WriteRegisters(host: 1, address: 0, values: [0xABCD, 0xEF01]);

Slave - TCP Simulation Server

using NewLife.IoT;
using NewLife.IoT.Models;

// Create and configure the slave
var slave = new ModbusSlave
{
    Port = 502,
    Log = XTrace.Log,
};

// Preset register data (holding registers, FC03/FC06 operations)
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    slave.Registers.Add(new RegisterUnit { Address = (UInt16)i, Value = (UInt16)(i * 10) });

// Preset coil data (FC01/FC05 operations)
for (var i = 0; i < 16; i++)
    slave.Coils.Add(new CoilUnit { Address = (UInt16)i, Value = i % 2 == 0 });

// Start the slave and begin listening
slave.Start();
Console.WriteLine("Modbus Slave started, port 502");

IoT Driver Layer Integration

using NewLife.IoT.Drivers;

// Create TCP driver (supports IoTEdge driver standard interface)
var driver = new ModbusTcpDriver();
var parameter = new ModbusTcpParameter
{
    Server = "192.168.1.100:502",
    Host = 1,
    Timeout = 3000,
    BatchStep = 1,   // Points with address gap ≤1 are auto-merged into batch requests
    BatchSize = 100, // Maximum 100 points per batch
};

// Open driver (single connection reused)
var node = driver.Open(device: null, parameter);

// Batch read (automatically merges consecutive addresses to reduce request count)
var points = new[] { /* ThingModel point definitions */ };
var result = driver.Read(node, points);
