Modbus Explorer helps automation engineers, field technicians, and maintenance teams discover and diagnose Modbus TCP devices on local industrial networks. Scan your network to find Modbus TCP devices, identify available device information, review open ports, and inspect communication health from one place. Key features: • Fast Modbus TCP device discovery • Device identification where supported • Open port overview • OSI-based diagnostics for physical, network, transport, and application layers • UID scan for Modbus TCP devices • Modbus read/write request tools • Network statistics including ping, jitter, packet loss, and response timing • Modbus TCP performance testing • Communication dashboard per device • PDF and CSV diagnostic reports • Optional engineer, company, and logo information for professional reports • Live Modbus HMI dashboard with configurable register cards • Saved networks with persistent HMI cards and PDF/CSV reports Modbus Explorer is designed for real industrial troubleshooting scenarios involving PLCs, HMIs, drives, gateways, and other Modbus TCP equipment. Whether you are commissioning a new panel, checking a device on site, documenting a network, or diagnosing communication issues, Modbus Explorer gives you a practical toolset for understanding what is happening on the wire. Some device identification and diagnostic information depends on the target device configuration and supported Modbus services.
