Hi jeffwitz, Thanks for letting us know! We appreciate it. I thought you were working with factory settings which would default the controller to an ID of * which means no ID assigned. If you change this ID, then you must also use the TALK command to talk to that specified device by calling its ID.

Hi tobias, Unfortunately, OM does not offer a C++ to Modbus code library. Your C++ code does need to be converted to Modbus RTU code format. Our AZ series drivers only supports setting data with our own MEXE02 GUI software (free download), or with a Modbus RTU master. We offer network converters (to...
