About this course

In this course, you'll learn how to set up a CODESYS program to communicate from your groov EPIC processor (Modbus master) to a Modbus/TCP device (Modbus slave) and work its I/O. In this course, the Modbus slave device used is an Opto 22 SNAP-PAC-R1, but you can apply these steps to most other Modbus slave devices.

Topics include:

  • Overview and hardware/software requirements 
  • Creating a project
  • Disabling user management
  • Adding Modbus devices to the project
  • Building program logic
  • Downloading and running the project
  • Quiz (to test your knowledge)
  • Up Next: Moving IIoT Data with Node-RED

Course Duration: ~30 min
