How to use ?

This library is designed to use a TCP-RS485 adapter. The adapter is connected to the PC or server which uses this lib via Ethernet or Wi-fi or anything else, and is connected to the PLC via RS-485 on the TER plug.

This library was developed using the USR-TCP232-306 adapter. It was not tested with another kind of connection.
