Platform and Release Support
Available 64-bit Microsoft Windows, 64-bit Mac OS X, and 64-bit Linux.
MATLAB® supports MODBUS communication through Instrument Control Toolbox™. MODBUS protocol is commonly used to communicate with industrial automation equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs). These controllers often have sensors and coils connected to them for supervisory monitoring and control.
With MATLAB, you can send and receive data over Modbus RTU or MODBUS TCP/IP. With MODBUS Serial RTU, your computer acts as a master and the equipment acts as the slave. When using MODBUS TCP/IP, your equipment acts as a MODBUS server and your computer acts as a MODBUS client.
MATLAB support lets you use MODBUS function codes to perform the following tasks:
