Import registers from an MBC file

This guide shows how to import register definitions from a ModbusControl (.mbc) project file.

Steps

Option A — drag and drop:

1. Drag the .mbc file from your file explorer onto the ModbusScope main window.

2. The import dialog opens automatically.

Option B — menu:

1. Click Register Settings in the toolbar.

2. Click Import from .mbc file.

3. Select your .mbc file.

After opening the file with either option:

1. In the import dialog, review the registers found in the file.

   

2. Select the registers you want to add and click Import.

Result: The selected registers are added to the register list with their names and addresses. You can edit them further in the Register Settings dialog.

Notes

• ModbusControl is a separate proprietary application. This import feature only reads register definitions; it does not communicate with ModbusControl.

• Imported registers use default types and colors. Adjust them in Register Settings if needed.
