Milford, MI May 9, 2004—Sapia Inc. Introduces SMRL, an intuitive Modbus RTU dynamic link library (DLL) that provides instant communication with Modbus RTU slave devices via your PC's serial port. SMRL can be integrated into Microsoft Windows or OEM applications saving development time by programmers to design, test and debug Modbus RTU communications. Programmers can concentrate on their core application while using SMRL to handle the Modbus communications to slave I/O devices.
SMRL is targeted for software applications based on C, C++, Visual Basic 6.0, VB.NET and others. Any application that can link to and call dll’s can use SMRL.Designed to be lean, mean and fast, SMRL does not require MFC nor COM libraries.
Simple Win32 console applications to full Windows MFC and VB.NET applications can use SMRL. SMRL is also thread safe. Each process and/or thread receives its own data area for configuring its own comm. port.
SMRL is ideal for those developers that want to create their own high-powered, modularized, multi-threaded application. A powerful set of API functions is provided for configuring SMRL and communicating to Modbus RTU slave devices at run-time. Establishing communication with a Modbus/RTU slave is as simple as calling a function with the necessary arguments. SMRL automatically builds the command, appends a CRC, sends the command out the serial port, and receives and validates the response. Your program just reads and writes simple 16-bit data values.
Complete examples for VB 6.0, VC++6.0 and VB.NET are provided.To learn more and download a free full functional demo please visit www.sapia-inc.com to learn more.
