What is an MBMAP file?
An MBMAP file is a Modbus address map that describes a device's registers for communication over Modbus protocol, a protocol commonly used by industrial equipment to exchange data. It stores configuration details, including register addresses, data types, and scaling information, that help compatible software interpret device data, such as measurements and equipment status.
More Information
Industrial devices such as sensors, meters, and controllers use Modbus to exchange information with other equipment and software. Engineers and automation technicians use Modbus address maps to configure software for communicating with specific devices. The open MBMap format allows device register maps to be shared across compatible tools, reducing the need to configure the same register information separately in each application.
How to open an MBMAP file
You can open MBMAP files with nobrega8 Modbench, a Modbus client that can load device maps and display register values by name. Since the format is transitioning from CSV to JSON, the file structure depends on the version of the format used.
You can also open and inspect the contents of an MBMAP file with a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad or Apple TextEdit. However, editing the file requires care to avoid incorrect register definitions.
