How to Manage modbusRTUCom connection

[mesutonus]

Hello,

when calling read/write functions from ModbusRTUCom object it connects automatically. However i can not manage connection and close the port it opens.   
Could you please help?

You could dispose the instance, but then it is no longer usable.

ModbusRTUCom1.Dispose

What would be a scenario where you would need to close the connection without exiting the application?

I use System.IO.SerialPort object  to write registers. And reading with advancedhmi.
So i need to keep only only object  alive during process.

After a short brainstorm it seemed impossible to manage. Because readings and writings are being made in short frequencies. So a reading request may interrupt an important write process.

You can add this subroutine to ModbusRTUCom.VB

        Public Sub CloseConnection()
            If DLL.ContainsKey(MyDLLInstance) AndAlso DLL(MyDLLInstance) IsNot Nothing Then
                DLL(MyDLLInstance).CloseCom()
            End If
        End Sub
