# ModbusModule

The Modbus Module is a data collector module, that provides the ability to both read and write measurements from multiple Modbus slaves. The module retrieves data and prepares it for distribution in the DataDistribution Module.

The Modbus module has the following features:

* RTU and TCP support
* Supports parallel reads on multiple slaves
* Supports both individual and block reads
* Reads Holding Registers, Input Registers, Coils and Discrete Inputs
* Data types supported are bit, uint16, int16, uint32, int32 and float32
* Supports read of individual bit in words
* Support of individually set sampling freqency for all value read, both in individual- or block reads
* Retry logic to make connections robust
