It uses 'ModbusTCP.dll', that I'm trying to avoid, since it is not a standard part of Visual Studio, and its source code is not provided I previously found the above 'Modbus TCP Class' that you mentioned above. :) I can only surmise that is due to Global Warming of the threads. Will somehow become "unstable" or something to that effect. Please BEWARE that I have NO EXPERIENCE and NO EXPERTISE and probably onset of DEMENTIA which may affect my answers! Also, I've been told by an expert, that when you post an image it clutters up the thread and mysteriously, over time, the link to the image Dll in order to be created in designer or something. So in Visual Studio, Reference Manager, any checked item I believe requires a. Even the namespace System needs mscorlib.dll. Though it seems quite the waste of time to me. And then re-write those functions in Visual Basic and change your program to incorporate them instead of referencing or importing. Once it is working use something like " Dependency walker" in order to find what functions are Dlls then you would need to write the program using. It seems to me if you do not want to use any. Reed Kimble - "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all" I know that's not a lot to go on but hopefully it will help you get started enough that you can come back with more specific questions if you run into problems. See if you have a complete message to process yet or not.

So this shell of an example shows how to read the data into a small buffer, add it to a queue (which you could make into any appropriate collection, I use a queue to demonstrate the purpose of the object), start another read operation, and then proceed to But its usually best to blindly read chunks of data from the remote endpoint and then gather them up into some other contain for inspection at your leisure. If you always know that a message will be a certain number of bytes, or even within a certain tolerable limit (at least less than the size of an Ethernet frame) then you might just have one buffer and count on receiving the reply message in a single transmissionĮvery time. How much complexity you need here will depend on how large and complex the transmissions are. Here is where things get application-specific. Its best to read asynchronously from the stream and accumulate the received bytes into a message buffer until you determine that a complete message has been received. The receiving is the potentially tricky part. So after connecting, you can use the SendMessage() method to send a composed message to the remote endpoint.

I have to assume from your posts that you are already at the point where you can represent/recognize a MODBUS message/reply as a series of bytes. The connection part should be pretty self explanatory. 'see if bytes in queue represent a complete message result from the remote device Stream.BeginRead(_Buffer, 0, _Buffer.Length, AddressOf ReceiveData, Nothing) Private Sub ReceiveData(result As IAsyncResult)ĭim stream As Public Sub SendMessage(messageBytes() As Byte) _(_Buffer, 0, _Buffer.Length, AddressOf ReceiveData, Nothing) Public Sub ConnectToPlc(hostNameOrAddress As String, port As Integer) Private _MessageQueue As New Queue(Of Byte) 'a collection of the received bytes which can be analyzed, looking for a complete message from the remote device Private _Buffer(63) As Byte 'a data buffer to read bytes from the remote connection arbitrarily set to 64 bytes Here's a rough outline of using a TcpClient: Public Class Form1 Where the links to the documentation not helpful enough? I can try to give you an idea, but code for this kind of thing really needs to be written specific to the communication needed and protocols used.
