Application Description
ModScan32 is an expanded version of the popular 16-bit application ModScan. It is a Win32 application
designed to operate as a MODBUS Master device for accessing data points in a connected PLC compatible
ve device. Like it's 16-bit predecessor, ModScan32 is designed primarily as a testing device for
verification of correct protocol operation in new or existing systems. Extensions have been built in to allow
third-party data acquisition via Control Automation routines and/or the Microsoft Jet Database engine.
ModScan32 allows multiple documents to be opened, each actively scanning a series of data points from one
or more connected MODBUS slaves. Coils and registers, may be read and/or written from any open
‘ModScan32 document using MODBUS Commands 01-06. The basic operation of the application is depicted
in the typical Windows display below:

‘The specified MODBUS slave device is polled by the ModScan32 document on a cyclical basis specified by
the user. Any address supported by the device may be scanned and the associated values listed on the
bottom of the display. Communications errors or Exception Responses returned by the slave device are
listed on the ModScan status line. Writing a specific data point is as simple as double-clicking an
address/value combination and entering the desired value in a pop-up dialog:
