Quickstart

Modbus TCP Simulator in 5 Minutes

Launch a realistic Modbus TCP simulator in SPX, inspect live register behavior, and validate client interactions without physical devices.

What you will verify

This quickstart is the starting point for a Modbus TCP simulator workflow in SPX. The goal is to start a ready runtime, inspect the register surface, and confirm that a Modbus client can read or write meaningful values.

Use the full Modbus TCP Simulator page for the broader capability overview.

Quickstart structure

  • Start SPX and open the runtime UI.
  • Select a Modbus-capable simulator instance.
  • Verify the endpoint and register map.
  • Connect a Modbus client such as QModMaster or Modbus Poll.
  • Read values, write a control value, and confirm the twin state changes.

What this supports

This article supports integration work where teams need predictable register behavior before the physical device, PLC-adjacent system, or gateway is available.
