Because nee only few bit exchange, I find convenient using mb2hal .... tcp is better ....but not undertand if possible connect ... not remember if server/client situation was supported or not .... any how if supported was the right ini file to write?...example ...
/* server side I supposed */[MB2HAL_INIT]
INIT_DEBUG=3
SLOWDOWN=0.0
TOTAL_TRANSACTIONS=5

[TRANSACTION_00]
#Manually change values in Mod_RsSim and see result here
LINK_TYPE=tcp
TCP_IP=192.168.2.10
TCP_PORT=5002
MB_SLAVE_ID=0
MB_TX_CODE=fnct_02_read_discrete_inputs
FIRST_ELEMENT=1
NELEMENTS=8
HAL_TX_NAME=rd_di
MAX_UPDATE_RATE=0.0
DEBUG=1

then client side ..
/* server side I supposed */[MB2HAL_INIT]
INIT_DEBUG=3
SLOWDOWN=0.0
TOTAL_TRANSACTIONS=5

[TRANSACTION_00]
#Manually change values in Mod_RsSim and see result here
LINK_TYPE=tcp
TCP_IP=192.168.2.09
TCP_PORT=5002
MB_SLAVE_ID=0 ####<---- is right?? or was MB_SERVER_ID??? or nothing??
MB_TX_CODE=fnct_02_read_discrete_inputs
FIRST_ELEMENT=1

I'm sorry but that is not going to work for the simple reason that mb2hal is only able to have linuxcnc as the master. You cannot use it to configure it as a slave.

But YES, that would be very nice if this could work.

There is an examples file 'mbslave-conf.xml' (in the examples directory). I did not try but would expect the pins listed in the xml to show up in HAL.
