I have been asked to install and commission a cryogenic temperature controller. The system uses a mixture of various commercial components to provide closed loop temperature ramping from -200C to +10. Several of the components provide control via a MODBUS interface. We wish to make use of this feature but we have no experience in programming the MODBUS protocol. The physical interface is half duplex RS485, 9600 baud, 8E1. Can any one guide us to some sample code, in either VB, VC++ or Delphi which we could use as a starting point. I have scoured the Web but have found no really good examples. The control system will operate, ultimately, from a Linux system, so ANSI C examples would be preferred. Thanks in advance.
