Ignition Modbus Master/Slave

I have been unable to find a definitive answer in the documentation–am I correct in saying Ignition must act as the master in a Modbus configuration?

Correct, base Ignition only supports connecting as a Master modbus device.

However, some third party modules, like Automation Professional's Advanced Modbus Driver, allow you to configure Ignition as a Modbus server device or a Modbus Master device, while also adding additional helpful functionality.

I’ve also got a Modbus server driver and it’s free / open source.

Awesome, is there a download link available anywhere?

Missed that one for the free modules wiki, fixed now.
