Tutorials and examples

Modbus I/O - This manual describes a very simple program to operate the Modcombo I/O board.
Tutorial - This manual describes step by step how to create a simple ICO controller program and build a simple HMI screen.
1-wire I/O - This manual describes a simple program to operate Dallas 1-wire I/O devices.
Example skeleton program - This manual describe a very usefull programming structure that includes getting Modbus data, converting to engineering units, validating the data, creating historical periodic data, creating alarms and saving event data.
