MODBUS ON LINUX

Modbus diagnostics on a Linux workstation or bench machine

Bring serial-bench diagnostics and Ethernet device testing into one Linux workbench. Save the connection and register map together, inspect the original frames when a read fails, and reuse the setup for the next commissioning session.

01

Keep the bench setup with the project

Save named connection profiles, register sources, decoding rules and tags in a .busloom.json project. Reopen the same map after a bench session, or pass it to a colleague on Windows or macOS while keeping the engineering interpretation intact.

02

Separate serial failures from protocol responses

A port-open failure, an RTU timeout, a damaged frame and a valid Modbus exception call for different checks. Use Raw Traffic and Connection Health to inspect the request and its outcome before changing the register address or decoding.

  • RTU over system serial ports
  • TCP and TLS over standard networking
  • Projects portable across operating systems
  • Decoded values alongside raw protocol evidence
03

Repeat the procedure after proving it in the GUI

Start with a short read and verify its function code, PDU address and decoded value. Professional lets you turn a proven procedure into saved automation scenarios, run them through the CLI and export reports for repeatable engineering checks.

TRY THE WORKFLOW

Start with one device and one known value.
