Modbus Monitor

Modbus Monitor is an Android app that talks Modbus protocol using several types of interface. This app polls the Modbus Speaking devices for the data right from your mobile devices. This app is also able to turn itself into "Server" so any Modbus Master on the network can poll your mobile devices. This app also accesses your devices' sensor data. This app is also able to use your PC USB Serial Port dongles to talk to your devices (PLC, pressure sensor, temperature controllers, etc) that is not connected to Ehternet or Wi-Fi. So, the Modbus Monitor is three apps in one: Modbus TCP/UDP Master, Modbus TCP (only) Server, and Modbus RTU/ASCII Master.
