Brief Problem:
Getting software that only scans for COM ports (MOdbus RTU) to connect to a Modbus TCP device.
Explanation:
We have third party software that communicates only via Modbus RTU (so the software looks for COM ports to connect to). This software communicates with Modbus Sensors, and we have this setup connected via a RTU/TCP gateway to the PC. So I use modbus TCP from the PC.
Now I am looking for a driver or something that creates a virtual COM port for RS 485 and converts/tunnels this to my pc RJ 45 port.
Normally connecting the RTU sensor with USB/RS485 converter directly to PC works, but in this case I do not have this option (sensor built into apparatus)
Of course better or other solutions are welcome.<pre>
