The Modbus driver's integration tests talk to a
[`pymodbus`](https://pymodbus.readthedocs.io/) simulator running as a
pinned Docker container. One image, per-profile service in compose, same
port binding (`5020`) regardless of which profile is live. Docker is the
only supported launch path — a fresh clone needs Docker Desktop and
nothing else.
pinned Docker container. One image, per-profile service in compose. Most
profiles bind `:5020`, so only one of *those* runs at a time; the
`rtu_over_tcp` profile binds `:5021` and is designed to co-run alongside
`standard`. Docker is the only supported launch path — a fresh clone needs
Docker Desktop and nothing else.

Only one profile binds `:5020` at a time; switch by stopping the current
service + starting another. The integration tests discriminate by a
separate `MODBUS_SIM_PROFILE` env var so they skip correctly when the
wrong profile is live.
Only one of the `:5020` profiles binds at a time; switch by stopping the
current service + starting another. (`rtu_over_tcp` is the exception — it
binds `:5021` and co-runs with `standard`.) The integration tests
discriminate by a separate `MODBUS_SIM_PROFILE` env var so they skip
correctly when the wrong profile is live.
