1 Overview

Modbus.Net is an open source hardware communication coding architecture library. It doesn't implement any protocol but several common interfaces that make varity devices could be regarded as a same device. The protocol implementations and calling interfaces are completely seperated.

Modbus.Net is based on async, so users can call a great deal of devices at the same time using reserved interfaces.

The designed pattern of Modbus.Net is based on OSI model，Modbus.Net impleted all layers in OSI except for Physical Layer and Data Link Layer (These are hardware connections).

The target of Modbus.Net is to make some common calling methods to any device and communicate with them at the same time.

There are three protocols that Modbus.Net author already implemented:
Modbus.Net.Modbus implemented Modbus protocol.
Modbus.Net.Siemens implemented Siemense PPI/TCP protocol.
Modbus.Net.OPC implemented OPC DA/UA protocol，based on H-opc.

This project will be renamed to Transclient.NET when 1.5.X started.
