A fault-tolerant, fail-fast Go library implementing the Modbus protocol over TCP and serial (RTU/ASCII) transports. It provides a client API for reading and writing coils, discrete inputs, and registers with configurable handlers.

Use cases

  • communicate with PLCs over Modbus TCP from Go
  • read holding registers from a serial RTU device
  • poll sensors connected via Modbus RTU on /dev/ttyUSB
  • write coils and registers to industrial equipment
  • integrate Modbus slave devices into a Go application

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, pure-Go Modbus client with no cgo dependencies
  • you need both TCP and serial RTU/ASCII support
  • you want fine-grained control over timeouts, slave IDs, and connection sessions

When to avoid

  • you need a Modbus server/slave implementation, not just a client
  • you need Modbus over TLS or other non-standard transports
  • your project is not in Go
