IoTClient facilitates communication with industrial devices using protocols like Modbus, Bacnet, and Siemens PLC. It allows reading and writing data using these protocols. The library provides both TCP and RTU over TCP implementations, supporting various data types and communication methods to integrate with a wide range of industrial equipment.
Key features include support for multiple communication protocols, clear API design for easy integration, flexible configurations for different devices, and a comprehensive set of read/write operations. It uses .NET Standard 2.0 for broad platform compatibility.
- Protocol Support: Implements Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU over TCP, Bacnet, and Siemens PLC communication.
- Platform Compatibility: Runs on Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi due to .NET Standard 2.0 compatibility.
- Data Type Handling: Supports a wide range of data types including integer, floating-point, boolean, and string.
- Configurable Settings: Allows customization of communication parameters such as port, baud rate, and endianness.
- Batch Operations: Enables efficient reading from multiple registers with a single call.
- Read and Write Operations: Offers both read and write functionality for seamless data exchange with industrial devices.
- Exception Handling: Provides detailed error information when operations fail, including request and response data.
