## What it is
IoTClient is a C# (.NET Standard 2.0) library implementing clients for common industrial IoT communication protocols, including ModBus (TCP/RTU/ASCII), BACnet, and PLC protocols for Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, and Allen-Bradley devices. It enables cross-platform .NET applications to read from and write to industrial hardware, including on Linux and Raspberry Pi.

## Use cases
- read data from a Siemens S7 PLC in a .NET application
- communicate with Modbus TCP devices over the network
- poll Modbus RTU registers over a serial port
- integrate BACnet building automation devices
- read Omron FINS PLC registers from C#
- build an energy monitoring system that reads industrial meters
- run industrial device communication on a Raspberry Pi with .NET

## When to choose
- you need a free MIT-licensed .NET library for Modbus, BACnet, or mainstream PLC protocols
- you want cross-platform industrial communication including Linux and Raspberry Pi deployment
- you need to talk to Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, or Allen-Bradley PLCs from C#

## When to avoid
- you need protocols or PLC brands not covered by the library
- you require certified, vendor-supported industrial communication for safety-critical systems
- your stack is not .NET-based

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, networking, developer-tools
- domain: iot, embedded-systems, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform, windows, dotnet
- tags: modbus, plc, bacnet, siemens-s7, mitsubishi-plc, omron-fins, allen-bradley, industrial-protocols, csharp, iot-communication, automation, linux
