modbus-tcp-simulator 0.5.0

A Simple Modbus TCP Device Simulator used for modpoll tool

ModSim - A Simple Modbus TCP Device Simulator

modsim is a simple Modbus TCP device simulator deployed at modsim.topmaker.net:502. It works as a remote Modbus-TCP (virtual) device, which has already been populated with all 4 types of registers, i.e.

• Coil Type
• Discrete input Type
• Input register Type
• Holding register Type

It is recommended to use modpoll tool to communicate with it, the example configuration is as following,

Quick Start

A docker image has been provided for user to directly run the program,

docker run -p 5020:5020 helloysd/modsim:latest

The above one-line command will create a virtual Modbus TCP device running at localhost:5020.

To verify it, you can test by modpoll tool with the following command,

modpoll \
  --tcp localhost \
  --tcp-port 5020 \
  --config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gavinying/modpoll/master/examples/modsim.csv

Note: add sudo before docker run command if you want to use the Modbus TCP standard port 502.
