For newer development I'd recommend using this library instead of that old modbus library: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-30140

This library is included in LV2014 RT and DSC modules, where it is directly supported by NI.

Unrelated to the recent discussion, I'd recommend against ever using datasockets due to these issues:

This is especially true in a safety critical situation.

tcap,

I was able to speak to an old professor and he recommeded the watchdog timers while using a digital out on a daq. I believe I will be headed in that direction. Thanks for all the great input everyone.
