1.Modbus Daniels Description

The Modbus Daniels driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-485 using Modbus Daniels protocol. The FieldServer can only emulate a Client.

Modbus Daniels is an inclusion into Modbus ASCII, allowing floats to be used. Modbus Daniels is designed to support floats in the address range 7000 to 7999. The "Double" data type is not supported. Other standard Modbus data types are supported.
