Modbus TCP/IP is an industrial communication protocol that uses Ethernet or Wireless TCP/IP or UDP connections to enable data to be sent in between devices. Switching to a more common IP based network connection enables faster, longer range, and more reliable connection between a host PC and the Modbus Slave device itself.
LabJack offers laboratory grade, industrial spec. computer based data acquisition (DAQ) hardware and control products. Our products are powerful, yet affordable; multifunction tools to equip engineers to solve challenges, and unlock insights. "LabJacks" can be easily integrated into larger systems via the Modbus TCP protocol. LabJacks T-Series devices (T4, T7) are implemented as Modbus Slaves or Servers that expose a set of Registers that can be read or written to by sending Modbus packets over both TCP and UDP connections.

LabJack's devices are multifunction devices in that they have many analog and digital I/O lines ranging from 12-bit up to 24-bit resolution. They can be:
* Not all platforms are fully supported for each device, see our LabJack Applications, Example Code/Wrappers, and Installer Downloads pages for more details. Our T-Series devices (T4, T7) have the best cross platform support.
