eISY MODBUS TCP Plugin Help needed

[waleedelmandouh]

I'm very happy there is now (hopefully) a straight forward was to use MODBUS with eISY, the plugin I found on Polyglot is 

ModbusTCP

Modbus TCP allows you to define your Modbus registers in a JSON file, upload it and leave the rest to IoX. No coding is necessary. Make sure the file is named modbus.iox_plugin.json

Now I cannot find ant help or examples or documentation on how to configure this JSON file, or how to actually access the registers in the admin console or tie them to command/statuses.

This plugin is built by UD, so I expect some guidance. I understand it's free, but at least and example please. Thank you so much.

Modbus JSON is a standard, you need to define the file based on your modbus network so that eisy plugin can consume the data and read/write modbus devices. UDI, I believe, wants to integrate with it but not create modbus tools. You can web search tools either GitHub python or excel macros for a solution, or maybe the file already exists for you installation?

My guess is once you've created the correctly named file and stored it in the correct location, the plugin will load that data and have related nodes for you to work with it
