Created date: February 25, 2020
For information regarding the robots Modbus server, please consult this article. This article was written assuming the Modbus functionality provided with Polyscope version 5.2 and 3.8 (eSeries and CB3 robots respectively).
For older versions of Polyscope there might be some differences.
This article also provides a quick example of using the robots Modbus client interface to expand the robots IO through a Phoenix Contact IO block that behaves as a Modbus/tcp server.
