Hi mgvanosd,

Your Arduino needs to be a modbus slave. You don't need a separate device.

You can use jpmzometa's mobus rtu slave library in your Arduino. I added some code to make it work with Mango. In the meantime this has been included in the library. You can download it from:

Some sample code can be found here:
