Hi, I only see support for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, Is there support for MODBUS-TCP?

Hello @gustavovelascoh ,

ModbusTCP is already as lib available: CXA_ModbusTCP. It is also an app coming for Modbus TCP.

Hi StefanH,

is there any third party ctrlX package that maps EthernetIP to the datalayer, e.g. under the "fieldbuses" datalayer directory just like for Ethercat?

best regards,

Sergio
