==Summary==

<b>Modbus</b> is a serial communications protocol. Simple and robust, it has become a de facto standard communication protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices.

This manual page provides an overview of the Modbus functionality in {{{name}}} devices.

<u><b>Note:</b> Modbus TCP Server/Client and MQTT Gateway is additional software on some devices that can be installed from the <b>System → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]]</b> page.</u>

==Modbus TCP Server==

A <b>Modbus TCP Server</b> listens for connections from a TCP Client (client) and sends out a response or sets some system related parameter in accordance with the given query. This provides the user with the possibility to set or get system parameters. 

The figure below is an example of the Modbus TCP window section and the table below provides information on the fields contained in that window:

===Status===

This section displays Modbus TCP Server status information.

===Requests Configuration===
----
A Modbus <b>request</b> is a way of obtaining data from Modbus servers. The client sends a request to a server specifying the function code to be performed. The server then sends the requested data back to the Modbus client.

<span style="color:red"> <b>Note: </b></span> Modbus TCP Client uses <i>Register Number</i> instead of <i>Register Address</i> for pointing to a register. For example, to request the <i>Uptime</i> of a device, you must use <b>2</b> in the <i>First Register</i> field.

The Request Configuration list is empty by default. To add a new Request Configuration loon to the Add New Instance section. Enter a custom name into the 'Name' field and click the 'Add' button:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_modbus_tcp_client_requests_configuration_add_new_instance_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

----
After having configured a request, you should see a new 'Request Configuration Testing' section appear. It is used to check whether the configuration works correctly. Simply click the 'Test' button and a response should appear in the box below. <b>Note:</b> to use test buttons, you need to enable [[#Modbus_TCP_Client|Client section]]. A successful response to a test may look something like this:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_modbus_tcp_master_requests_configuration_testing.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

===Alarms Configuration===
----
<b>Alarms</b> are a way of setting up automated actions when some Modbus values meet user-defined conditions. When the Modbus TCP Client (this {{{name}}} device) requests some information from a server device it compares that data to with the parameters set in an Alarm Configuration. If the comparison meets the specified condition (more than, less than, equal to, not equal to), the Client performs a user-specified action, for example, a Modbus write request or switching the state of an output.

The figure below is an example of the Alarms Configuration list. To create a new Alarm, click the 'Add' button.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_modbus_tcp_client_alarms_configuration_add_button_v2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

After adding the Alarm you should be redirected to its configuration page which should look similar to this:

==Modbus Serial Client==

The <b>Modbus Serial Client</b> page is used to configure the device as a Modbus RTU Client. Modbus RTU (remote terminal unit) is a serial communication protocol mainly used in communication via serial interfaces.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_modbus_serial_client_v2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
<!--<u><b>Note:</b> Modbus Serial Client is additional software that can be installed from the <b>System → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]]</b> page.</u>-->

Notice the Global section config. It is used to outright turn the service off or on if any active configurations are present.

[[File:Networking rutos manual modbus modbus serial client global button v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Clicking the Cog icon opens a modal window. The global configuration slider can be set and it's state saved.

=====Requests Configuration=====
----
A Modbus <b>request</b> is a way of obtaining data from Modbus servers. The client sends a request to a servers specifying the function code to be performed. The server then sends the requested data back to the Modbus client. 

<span style="color:red"> <b>Note: </b></span> Modbus Serial Client uses <i>Register Number</i> instead of <i>Register Address</i> for pointing to a register. For example, to request the <i>Uptime</i> of a device, you must use <b>2</b> in the <i>First Register</i> field.

The Request Configuration list is empty by default. To add a new Request Configuration loon to the Add New Instance section. Enter a custom name into the 'Name' field and click the 'Add' button:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_modbus_tcp_client_requests_configuration_add_new_instance.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

The new Request Configuration should become visible in the list:

----
After having configured a request, you should see a new 'Request Configuration Testing' section appear. It is used to check whether the configuration works correctly. Simply click the 'Test' button and a response should appear in the box below. <b>Note:</b> to use test buttons, you need to enable [[#Modbus_Serial_Client|Client section]]. A successful response to a test may look something like this:

=====Modbus Client Alarms=====
----
<b>Alarms</b> are a way of setting up automated actions when some Modbus values meet user-defined conditions. When the Modbus Serial Client (this {{{name}}} device) requests some information from a server device it compares that data to with the parameters set in an Alarm Configuration. If the comparison meets the specified condition (more than, less than, equal to, not equal to), the Client performs a user-specified action, for example, a Modbus write request or switching the state of an output.

The figure below is an example of the Modbus Client Alarms list. To create a new Alarm, click the 'Add' button.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_modbus_tcp_client_alarms_configuration_add_button.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

After this you should be redirected to that Alarm's configuration page which should look similar to this:

The Xon and Xoff characters are sent by the receiver to the sender to control when the sender will send data, i.e., these characters go in the opposite direction to the data being sent. The circuit starts in the "sending allowed" state. When the receiver's buffers approach capacity, the receiver sends the Xoff character to tell the sender to stop sending data. Later, after the receiver has emptied its buffers, it sends an Xon character to tell the sender to resume transmission.</li>

=====Server Device Configuration=====
----
The <b>Server Device Configuration</b> section is used to configure the parameters of Modbus RTU servers that the Client (this {{{name}}} device) will be querying with requests. The figure below is an example of the Server Device Configuration and the table below provides information on the fields contained in that section:

        <td>Maximum response wait time.</td>
    </tr>
</table>
=====Requests Configuration=====
----
A Modbus <b>request</b> is a way of obtaining data from Modbus servers. The client sends a request to a server specifying the function code to be performed. The server then sends the requested data back to the Modbus client.

<span style="color:red"> <b>Note: </b></span> Modbus Serial Client uses <i>Register Number</i> instead of <i>Register Address</i> for pointing to a register. For example, to request the <i>Uptime</i> of a device, you must use <b>2</b> in the <i>First Register</i> field.

The Request Configuration list is empty by default. To add a new Request Configuration loon to the Add New Instance section. Enter a custom name into the 'Name' field and click the 'Add' button:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_modbus_tcp_master_requests_configuration_add_new_instance.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

The new Request Configuration should become visible in the list:

After having configured a request, you should see a new 'Request Configuration Testing' section appear. It is used to check whether the configuration works correctly. Simply click the 'Test' button and a response should appear in the box below. A successful response to a test may look something like this:

=====Modbus Client Alarms=====
----
<b>Alarms</b> are a way of setting up automated actions when some Modbus values meet user-defined conditions. When the Modbus Serial Client (this {{{name}}} device) requests some information from a server device it compares that data to with the parameters set in an Alarm Configuration. If the comparison meets the specified condition (more than, less than, equal to, not equal to), the Client performs a user-specified action, for example, a Modbus write request or switching the state of an output.

The figure below is an example of the Modbus Client Alarms list. To create a new Alarm, click the 'Add' button.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_modbus_serial_master_modbus_master_alarms_add_button.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

After this you should be redirected to that Alarm's configuration page which should look similar to this:

==MQTT Modbus Gateway==

The <b>MQTT Modbus Gateway</b> function is used to transfer Modbus data (send requests, receive responses) over MQTT. When it is enabled, the device (this {{{name}}}) subscribes to a REQUEST topic and publishes on a RESPONSE topic on a specified MQTT broker. It translates received MQTT message payload to a Modbus request and relays it to the specified Modbus TCP server.

When the MQTT Gateway receives a response from the server, it translates it to an MQTT message and publishes it on the RESPONSE topic.

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_mqtt_gateway_scheme.png]]

Below is an example of the MQTT Gateway page. Refer to the table for information on MQTT Gateway configuration fields and status.

===Request messages===
----
<span style="color:red"> <b>Note: </b></span>MQTT Gateway uses <i>Register Number</i> instead of <i>Register Address</i> for pointing to a register. For example, to request the <i>Uptime</i> of a device, you must use <b>2</b> in the <i>Register Number</i> field.

Modbus request data sent in the MQTT payload should be generated in accordance with the one of the following formats:

* TCP:
  <b>0 <COOKIE> <IP_TYPE> <IP> <PORT> <TIMEOUT> <SERVER_ID> <MODBUS_FUNCTION> <FIRST_REGISTER> <REGISTER_COUNT/VALUES></b>
* Serial:
  <b>1 <COOKIE> <SERIAL_DEVICE_ID> <TIMEOUT> <SERVER_ID> <MODBUS_FUNCTION> <FIRST_REGISTER> <REGISTER_COUNT/VALUES></b>
* MODBUS TCP connection management messages:
  <b>2 <COOKIE> <CONNECTION_INDEX> <ACTION></b><br>
  <b>2 <COOKIE> <CONNECTION_INDEX> 0 <IP_TYPE> <IP> <PORT> <TIMEOUT></b>

==Modbus TCP over Serial Gateway==
The <b>Modbus TCP over Serial gateway</b> serial type allows redirecting TCP data coming to a specified port to an RTU specified by the Server ID. The Server ID can be specified by the user or be obtained directly from the Modbus header.

<b>Note:</b> Modbus TCP over Serial Gateway supports multiple connections of up to 10 clients.

===Status===
----
This section displays Modbus TCP over serial instances currently existing on the router.
