    # Control pump via coil
    client.write_single_coil(slave_id=1, address=0, value=True)
    print("Pump started!")
```

## 📚 Complete Usage Guide

### TCP Client (Ethernet)

Perfect for **PLCs**, **HMIs**, and **Ethernet-based devices**:

```python
from modbuslink import ModbusClient, TcpTransport

# Connect to PLC via Ethernet
transport = TcpTransport(
    host='192.168.1.10',
    port=502,
    timeout=5.0
)
client = ModbusClient(transport)

with client:
    # Read production counter
    counter = client.read_int32(slave_id=1, start_address=1000)
    print(f"Production count: {counter}")
    
    # Read sensor array
    sensors = client.read_holding_registers(slave_id=1, start_address=2000, quantity=10)
    print(f"Sensor values: {sensors}")
    
    # Update setpoint
    client.write_float32(slave_id=1, start_address=3000, value=75.5)
```

### RTU Client (Serial RS485/RS232)

Ideal for **field instruments**, **sensors**, and **legacy devices**:

```python
from modbuslink import ModbusClient, RtuTransport

# Connect to field device via RS485
transport = RtuTransport(
    port='COM3',        # Linux: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
    baudrate=9600,
    parity='N',         # None, Even, Odd
    stopbits=1,
    timeout=2.0,
    rs485_mode=True     # Enable software-controlled RS485 (RTS for direction)
)
client = ModbusClient(transport)

with client:
    # Read flow meter
    flow_rate = client.read_float32(slave_id=5, start_address=0)
    print(f"Flow rate: {flow_rate:.2f} L/min")
    
    # Read pressure transmitter
    pressure = client.read_input_registers(slave_id=6, start_address=0, quantity=1)[0]
    pressure_bar = pressure / 100.0  # Convert to bar
    print(f"Pressure: {pressure_bar:.2f} bar")
```

### ASCII Client (Serial Text Protocol)

Special applications and **debugging**:

```python
from modbuslink import ModbusClient, AsciiTransport

# ASCII mode for special devices
transport = AsciiTransport(
    port='COM1',
    baudrate=9600,
    bytesize=7,         # 7-bit ASCII
    parity='E',         # Even parity
    timeout=3.0
)
client = ModbusClient(transport)

with client:
    # Read laboratory instrument
    temperature = client.read_float32(slave_id=2, start_address=100)
    print(f"Lab temperature: {temperature:.3f}°C")
```

### High-Performance Async Operations

**Handle multiple devices simultaneously** with async/await:

```python
import asyncio
from modbuslink import AsyncModbusClient, AsyncTcpTransport

async def read_multiple_devices():
    """Read from multiple PLCs concurrently"""
    
    # Create connections to different PLCs
    plc1 = AsyncModbusClient(AsyncTcpTransport('192.168.1.10', 502))
    plc2 = AsyncModbusClient(AsyncTcpTransport('192.168.1.11', 502))
    plc3 = AsyncModbusClient(AsyncTcpTransport('192.168.1.12', 502))
    
    async with plc1, plc2, plc3:
        # Read all PLCs simultaneously
        tasks = [
            plc1.read_holding_registers(1, 0, 10),    # Production line 1
            plc2.read_holding_registers(1, 0, 10),    # Production line 2
            plc3.read_holding_registers(1, 0, 10),    # Production line 3
        ]
        
        results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
        
        for i, data in enumerate(results, 1):
            print(f"PLC {i} data: {data}")

# Run async example
asyncio.run(read_multiple_devices())
```

## 🖥️ Modbus Server Implementation

**Build your own Modbus devices** with ModbusLink's powerful server capabilities:

### TCP Server (Multi-Client Support)

Create **HMI simulators**, **device emulators**, or **data concentrators**:

```python
from modbuslink import AsyncTcpModbusServer, ModbusDataStore
import asyncio

async def industrial_tcp_server():
    """Simulate a complete industrial control system"""
    
    # Create data store for 1000 points each
    data_store = ModbusDataStore(
        coils_size=1000,              # Digital outputs (pumps, valves)
        discrete_inputs_size=1000,    # Digital inputs (sensors, switches)
        holding_registers_size=1000,  # Analog outputs (setpoints)
        input_registers_size=1000     # Analog inputs (measurements)
    )
    
    # Initialize industrial data
    # Pump and valve controls
    data_store.write_coils(0, [True, False, True, False])
    
    # Process setpoints (temperatures, pressures)
    data_store.write_holding_registers(0, [750, 1200, 850, 600])  # °C * 10
    
    # Sensor readings (simulated)
    data_store.write_input_registers(0, [748, 1195, 847, 598])   # Current values
    
    # Safety interlocks and limit switches
    data_store.write_discrete_inputs(0, [True, True, False, True])
    
    # Create multi-client TCP server
    server = AsyncTcpModbusServer(
        host="0.0.0.0",          # Accept connections from any IP
        port=502,                 # Standard Modbus port
        data_store=data_store,
        slave_id=1,
        max_connections=50        # Support up to 50 HMI clients
    )
    
    print("Starting Industrial Control System Simulator...")
    print("Connect your HMI to: <your_ip>:502")
    print("Slave ID: 1")
    
    try:
        await server.start()
        
        # Start background data simulation
        simulation_task = asyncio.create_task(simulate_process_data(data_store))
        
        # Run server forever
        await server.serve_forever()
        
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("\nShutting down server...")
        simulation_task.cancel()
    finally:
        await server.stop()

async def simulate_process_data(data_store):
    """Simulate changing process values"""
    import random
    
    while True:
        # Simulate temperature fluctuations
        temps = [random.randint(740, 760) for _ in range(4)]
        data_store.write_input_registers(0, temps)
        
        # Simulate pressure changes
        pressures = [random.randint(1180, 1220) for _ in range(4)]
        data_store.write_input_registers(10, pressures)
        
        await asyncio.sleep(1.0)  # Update every second

# Run the server
asyncio.run(industrial_tcp_server())
```

### RTU Server (Serial Field Device)

Emulate **field instruments** and **smart sensors**:

```python
from modbuslink import AsyncRtuModbusServer, ModbusDataStore
import asyncio

async def smart_sensor_rtu():
    """Simulate a smart temperature/pressure sensor"""
    
    data_store = ModbusDataStore(
        holding_registers_size=100,   # Configuration registers
        input_registers_size=100      # Measurement data
    )
    
    # Device configuration
    data_store.write_holding_registers(0, [
        250,    # Temperature alarm high (°C * 10)
        -50,    # Temperature alarm low
        1500,   # Pressure alarm high (mbar)
        500     # Pressure alarm low
    ])
    
    # Create RTU field device
    server = AsyncRtuModbusServer(
        port="COM3",              # Serial port
        baudrate=9600,
        parity="N",
        data_store=data_store,
        slave_id=15,              # Field device address
        timeout=2.0
    )
    
    print("Smart Sensor RTU Device Starting...")
    print(f"Port: COM3, Baudrate: 9600, Slave ID: 15")
    
    try:
        await server.start()
        
        # Start sensor simulation
        sensor_task = asyncio.create_task(simulate_sensor_readings(data_store))
        
        await server.serve_forever()
        
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("\nSensor offline")
        sensor_task.cancel()
    finally:
        await server.stop()

async def simulate_sensor_readings(data_store):
    """Simulate realistic sensor behavior"""
    import random, math, time
    
    start_time = time.time()
    
    while True:
        elapsed = time.time() - start_time
        
        # Simulate daily temperature variation
        base_temp = 200 + 50 * math.sin(elapsed / 3600)  # Hourly cycle
        temp = int(base_temp + random.uniform(-5, 5))     # Add noise
        
        # Simulate correlated pressure
        pressure = int(1000 + temp * 0.5 + random.uniform(-10, 10))
        
        # Update input registers
        data_store.write_input_registers(0, [temp, pressure])
        
        await asyncio.sleep(5.0)  # Update every 5 seconds

# Run the sensor
asyncio.run(smart_sensor_rtu())
```

### Multi-Server Deployment

**Run multiple servers simultaneously** for complex applications:

```python
from modbuslink import (
    AsyncTcpModbusServer,
    AsyncRtuModbusServer, 
    AsyncAsciiModbusServer,
    ModbusDataStore
)
import asyncio

async def multi_protocol_gateway():
    """Create a multi-protocol Modbus gateway"""
    
    # Shared data store for all protocols
    shared_data = ModbusDataStore(
        coils_size=1000,
        discrete_inputs_size=1000,
        holding_registers_size=1000,
        input_registers_size=1000
    )
    
    # Initialize gateway data
    shared_data.write_holding_registers(0, list(range(100, 200)))
    
    # Create multiple servers
    tcp_server = AsyncTcpModbusServer(
        host="0.0.0.0", port=502,
        data_store=shared_data, slave_id=1
    )
    
    rtu_server = AsyncRtuModbusServer(
        port="COM3", baudrate=9600,
        data_store=shared_data, slave_id=1
    )
    
    ascii_server = AsyncAsciiModbusServer(
        port="COM4", baudrate=9600,
        data_store=shared_data, slave_id=1
    )
    
    # Start all servers
    servers = [tcp_server, rtu_server, ascii_server]
    
    try:
        # Start servers concurrently
        await asyncio.gather(
            *[server.start() for server in servers]
        )
        
        print("Multi-Protocol Gateway Online:")
        print("  • TCP: 0.0.0.0:502")
        print("  • RTU: COM3@9600")
        print("  • ASCII: COM4@9600")
        
        # Run all servers
        await asyncio.gather(
            *[server.serve_forever() for server in servers]
        )
        
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("\nShutting down gateway...")
    finally:
        await asyncio.gather(
            *[server.stop() for server in servers]
        )

# Run the gateway
asyncio.run(multi_protocol_gateway())
```

## 🛡️ Production-Ready Features

### Comprehensive Error Handling

**Never lose production data** with robust error management:

```python
from modbuslink import (
    ModbusClient, TcpTransport,
    ConnectionError, TimeoutError, ModbusException, CRCError
)
import time

def resilient_data_collector():
    """Production-grade data collection with full error handling"""
    
    transport = TcpTransport(host='192.168.1.100', port=502)
    client = ModbusClient(transport)
    
    retry_count = 0
    max_retries = 3
    
    while retry_count < max_retries:
        try:
            with client:
                # Critical data collection
                production_data = client.read_holding_registers(1, 1000, 50)
                print(f"✅ Data collected successfully: {len(production_data)} points")
                return production_data
                
        except ConnectionError as e:

### Advanced Logging & Debugging

**Debug communication issues** with protocol-level monitoring:

```python
from modbuslink.common import Language, set_language
from modbuslink.utils import ModbusLogger
import logging

# Set global language (affects both logging and exception messages)
set_language(Language.EN)  # Use Language.CN for Chinese (default)

# Setup comprehensive logging
ModbusLogger.setup_logging(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    enable_debug=True,
    log_file='modbus_debug.log',
    # language=Language.EN  # Use Language.CN for Chinese (default)
    # The original way of writing can still be used, but it is recommended to modify it using the method mentioned above(global).
)

# Enable packet-level debugging
ModbusLogger.enable_protocol_debug()

# Now all Modbus communications are logged:
# 2024-08-30 10:15:23 [DEBUG] Sending: 01 03 00 00 00 0A C5 CD
# 2024-08-30 10:15:23 [DEBUG] Received: 01 03 14 00 64 00 C8 01 2C 01 90 01 F4 02 58 02 BC 03 20 03 84 E5 C6
```

### Performance Monitoring

```python
import asyncio
import time
from modbuslink import AsyncModbusClient, AsyncTcpTransport

async def performance_benchmark():
    """Measure ModbusLink performance"""
    
    client = AsyncModbusClient(AsyncTcpTransport('192.168.1.100'))
    
    async with client:
        # Benchmark concurrent operations
        start_time = time.time()
        
        # 100 concurrent read operations
        tasks = [
            client.read_holding_registers(1, i*10, 10) 
            for i in range(100)
        ]
        
        results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
        
        end_time = time.time()
        duration = end_time - start_time
        
        print(f"🚀 Performance Results:")
        print(f"  • Operations: {len(tasks)}")
        print(f"  • Total time: {duration:.2f} seconds")
        print(f"  • Operations/sec: {len(tasks)/duration:.1f}")
        print(f"  • Avg response time: {duration*1000/len(tasks):.1f} ms")

# Run benchmark
asyncio.run(performance_benchmark())
```

### Transport Layer Architecture

ModbusLink's **layered design** supports all major Modbus variants:

#### Synchronous Transports
- 🌐 **TcpTransport**: Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP (IEEE 802.3)
- 📞 **RtuTransport**: Serial Modbus RTU (RS232/RS485) with RS485 mode support
- 📜 **AsciiTransport**: Serial Modbus ASCII (7-bit text)

#### Asynchronous Transports  
- ⚡ **AsyncTcpTransport**: High-performance TCP (1000+ concurrent connections)
- ⚡ **AsyncRtuTransport**: Non-blocking serial RTU with RS485 mode support
- ⚡ **AsyncAsciiTransport**: Non-blocking serial ASCII

#### RS485 Mode Support

For adapters without automatic hardware flow control, ModbusLink supports **software-controlled RS485 mode** using RTS/DTR signals:

```python
from modbuslink import RtuTransport, RS485Settings

# Basic RS485 mode (RTS high for TX, low for RX)
transport = RtuTransport('/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600, rs485_mode=True)

# Custom RS485 settings for specific hardware
rs485_settings = RS485Settings(
    rts_level_for_tx=True,   # RTS high during transmission
    rts_level_for_rx=False,  # RTS low during reception
    delay_before_tx=0.001,   # 1ms delay before TX (for transceiver settling)
    delay_before_rx=0.001,   # 1ms delay before RX
)
transport = RtuTransport('/dev/ttyUSB0', rs485_mode=rs485_settings)
```

| RS485Settings Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|------------------------|------|---------|-------------|
| `rts_level_for_tx` | bool | True | RTS pin level during transmission |
| `rts_level_for_rx` | bool | False | RTS pin level during reception |
| `delay_before_tx` | float | 0.0 | Delay in seconds before starting TX |
| `delay_before_rx` | float | 0.0 | Delay in seconds before starting RX |

### Key Performance Metrics

| Metric | Sync Client | Async Client | Async Server |
|--------|-------------|--------------|-------------|
| **Throughput** | 100 ops/sec | 1000+ ops/sec | 5000+ ops/sec |
| **Connections** | 1 | 1000+ | 1000+ |
| **Memory Usage** | Low | Medium | Medium |
| **CPU Usage** | Low | Very Low | Low |
| **Latency** | 10-50ms | 5-20ms | 1-10ms |
