Does anyone know if Edge supports the Serial Support Gateway Module? I plan to use it to talk to a single Modbus RTU device.

This appears to be supported for Standard Ignition, but I haven't seen a clear answer either way for Edge.

Should be supported:

Shown in the list of core drivers for Edge IIoT on the pricing page, too.

As of like 8.1.20 the serial native library is part of platform and the Modbus RTU driver is no longer gated on it; the Serial Support Module only adds the `system.serial` scripting functions at this point.

Good info all around, thanks everyone! I honestly forgot to check the base product page 😅.
