NAME
Device::Modbus::TCP::Client - Perl client for Modbus TCP communications
SYNOPSIS
#! /usr/bin/perl
use Device::Modbus::TCP::Client; use Data::Dumper; use strict; use warnings; use v5.10;
my $client = Device::Modbus::TCP::Client->new( host => '192.168.1.34', );
my $req = $client->read_holding_registers( unit => 3, address => 2, quantity => 1 );
say Dumper $req; $client->send_request($req) || die "Send error: $!"; my $response = $client->receive_response; say Dumper $response;
$client->disconnect;
DESCRIPTION
This module is part of Device::Modbus::TCP, a distribution which implements the Modbus TCP protocol on top of Device::Modbus.
Device::Modbus::TCP::Client inherits from Device::Modbus::Client, and adds the capability of communicating via TCP sockets. As such, Device::Modbus::TCP::Client implements the constructor only. Please see Device::Modbus::Client for most of the documentation.
