Here is the actual directive from Modbus about names conventions:

Just a note about the Mod bus documentation.

Modbus is either Master/Slave OR  Client /Server.. This terms should not be mixed.

Client means Master   Server means slave.  Modbus has made this confusing!

You say "Currently realvirtual.io can be only used as a Modbus master. Client support will be added in one of the next releases."  This does not make sense.  Client is the Master.

I think what you have is server support  or slave  (passive)   and it is driven by an outside Master or Client.

Has the client been added? ( its a wee bit over 2 months)  I see you are using easymodbus so hopefully it shouldn't be that problematic. It would be extremely useful as most will use G4A as a client.

Thanks for any update on this.

Thanks. Your on-line docs should be changed to reflect that it is now included and does not to be loaded separately.

The more I am getting into the software, the more impressed I am.  Great work!

On a side note the docs imply EthernetIP is included in the starter edition. (doesn't say only in Professional)

I take it that it is not included.
