i am new to msp430. i am in need of selecting the suitable msp430 controller for my application.. in my project modbus communication is one of the module.so while i choosing the controller family (for modbus communication) which peripheral must be included in my controller.. please suggest me a controller in which the mod bus communication is possible????
which modbus ( RTU / ASCII / TCP ) you are implementing????????
The hardware requirements are minimal - Any reasonable microcontroller with a serial interface, at least some RAM to hold the modbus frames should suffice.
•A UART which support and interrupts and has at least an receiver buffer full and transmit buffer empty interrupt.
•A timer capable of creating the t3.5 character timeout timer for Modbus RTU.
