Using MBConstructor you can quickly create a data management model for any of yourMODBUS devices. Unlike other available solutions on the market which providedisplaying data as columns of abstract numbers of the same type, Modbus Constructorrepresents each data element exactly as you need. You may define type, format orscale independently. This makes them easy to read and analyze.
In MBConstructor you can work with integer, long, float, double, or byte data types.Integer types may be represented as signed, unsigned, HEX or binary. The sameregister can be represented in various ways. For example, if there are two adjacentregisters that contain long numbers, each of these registers can be given additionaldata fields in which their content will be represented as HEX or unsigned integer.Data fields corresponding to your data elements (registers or discreet elements) canbe arranged to your liking inside the project form window. You can specify size,color, font and caption for each field. The discreet elements occupying a continuousaddresses domain can share the same field, which makes them easier to read and savestime.
In MBConstructor you can setup any register data field to perform a lineartransformation to convert the internal units into units of any system. For example,if a register contains pressure in mA, i.e. the device receives data from a pressuredetector equipped with a current output, the resulting value can be converted tokgf/cm2 or lb/in2.MBConstructor supports automatic requests for all supported functions (01, 02, 03,04, 05, 06, 15, 16, 22, 23) with individual periods for each one.
You can setup requests to be executed via menus or dialogs. This is a convenient wayof setting up control commands, changing parameters and test requests. Any projectmay be used for querying a device in a Master mode or simulating it in a Slave mode.For the Slave mode you may additionally include a data modification procedureoperating according.
Modbus Constructor comes with a special utility, Modbus Reader, which operates usingthe model created with Modbus Constructor to interact with your device.
Modbus Reader is a FREEWARE program. If you have already created a Modbus Constructor project for the device youdesigned, your clients will not have to purchase Modbus Constructor  it is enoughto download a freeware Modbus Reader.
Modbus Reader can run several projects at once, i.e. query or simulate severaldevices using one or more COM ports.Both Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocols are supported.In addition to the requests specified in your project, you can modify any of yourdevice's data elements by simply clicking on any associated data field, whether inMaster (by sending an appropriate request) or Slave mode.
ModBus Constructor v1.0 is priced at 50 USD or 50 EUR for a single developer(Personal) license.Commercial and Corporate licenses are available.More information and a free trial version can be obtained from http://www.kurysoft.com
