3 Features That Make OpenModSim Great For Modbus Troubleshooting
If you enrolled in my Modbus-RS485 or Modbus-TCP courses, I would have taught you how to download and use Modsim, a Modbus Server/Slave application that I have used for the past 20+ years for Modbus industrial networks.
Modsim is a great application. However, if you want to use it on a permanent basis you have to eventually purchase the trial download and activate it. Also, it only runs on Windows.
Enter OpenModSim! (Download Link)
OpenModSim solves these issues! It's an Opensource Modbus Server/Slave that is completely FREE to download and use, and it runs on Windows, MacOS as well as Linux. In the video below, I look at 3 great features of OpenModSim that make it a superior troubleshooting tool compared to Modsim.
My advice to you is to download and install OpenModSim, so that it is added to your Industrial Network Communications toolkit!
