Thanks Andy. So for a 7i76e, the same general concepts apply? eg Create a bit file with a uart, install the driver component and use exposed functions? The Hypertherm modbus packet is typically only around 9-10 bytes so it will easily fit in the 64 byte buffer limit.
I can see a helper component that coded and decoded packets would make this fairly simple. eg. an input pin to set current (in amps) and output pins to read system parameters.
