WatConnect is a suite of programming tools that assists developers of Windows software wanting to integrate the MODBUS RTU serial or MODBUS TCP network communication protocols into their applications. All library components and sample code are installed by default in the directory “Program Files\WatConnect”.

WatConnect is a collection of DLLs and OCXs, with some documentation and an abundance of sample code.

The C DLLs are intended for C or C++ programmers using a multi-threaded architecture. It is designed specifically to be thread-safe. MODBUS RTU users that need to open and operate more than one communication port at a time must use the DLL. These components suspend the execution of the thread after issuing a command to the device until the return response (or timeout) is received.

The OCX is intended for VB or MFC programmers. It provides a notification to clients once a communication transaction between the host and device is complete.
