    Hi,
    I imported an old project created with version 3.51.20.50 into the new version 3.51.21.20. I'm using ModbusFB.ClientTCP v4.5.0.0. Strangely, I can no longer download the project due to a licensing issue I didn't have before. The number of Modbus channels has gone from 1 to 54!, and there's no license that would work.
    Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

    Thanks
    Sandro

    Hi Sandro, did you find any solution?
    I'm in version 3.5.20.40 and i have only one modbus channel.
    I don't want the problem to happen to me if I do an update one day.

    Hi Gatto,
    Using version 3.5.21.xx, it is no longer possible to use Modbus function blocks (I make extensive use of these FBs.)as shown in the example.
    https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Examples/_ex_modbus_example.html

    The compiler detects one Modbus instance for each instance of the communication FB block. The example program above, although simple, reports 8 Modbus instances when compiled with the latest version.

    Codesys Support says that you must use fieldbus I/O mapping, but this will result in the loss of the ability to programmatically modify communication parameters.
