Modbus plug-in

[Jabot]

Hello,

I need to pass a list or array of addresses to a plug-in to implement logging from a PLC. I will use the addresses to read data and send it to Flexlogger. The list of addresses can change from time-to-time depending on the user's desire. There will probably be around 18 addresses both boolean and real values back from the PLC. I'm still wondering how to present this data in flexlogger and I'm not quite up to speed on channels and parameters. I've downloaded the plug-ins from the GitHub and have Flexlogger 23Q4. Any help to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff (Jabot)

Hi Jeff,

I guess you downloaded the Plugin SDK from Github?

With that, you would have to program your own plug-in in LabVIEW.

We've actually made a Modbus plugin that we sell. It currently released directly from us at the moment. If there is enough interest worldwide, we'll think about moving towards the NI LabVIEW Tools Network.

In the mean time, if you'd like to try it out. Visit our webpage:

Plugin download (by default, you get the trial version activated): https://neosoft.ca/modbus-flexlogger-plugin_1.0.1-287_windows_x64.nipkg

The manual is available online at: https://neosoft.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/User-Manual-for-MODBUS-Plugin.pdf

As a pre-requisite, you do need FlexLogger Pro.

Hope this helps,
