Yet Another Modbus Simulator

A simulator for Modbus client/server that supports YAML based configuration and behavior definition, with pure Rust.

YAMS supports Modbus device configuration and behavior definition via YAML files. This means one can predefine how the simulator works before running the simulator, including:

• the device type: Server/Client
• the protocol type: Modbus TCP/RTU
• communication configurations: IP address, baudrate, etc.
• Modbus configurations: device ID etc.
• Modbus server properties:
  • supported function codes
  • supported registers/coils and their values
• Modbus client behaviors:
  • requests to send to server(s)
  • support repeated request (single/multi request repeat)
  • support predefined delay before a request
• Human friendly UI:
  • flexible request organization
  • set and show measurements in its own type: 32-bit float

Install

• Make sure Cargo is installed. See the install page for details.
• Install YAMS by cargo install yams.
