Summary

Modbus 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 chapter of the user manual provides an overview of the Modbus page for {{{name}}} devices.

Modbus TCP

Modbus TCP provides users with the possibility to set or get system parameters. The Modbus daemon acts as slave device. That means it accepts connections from a master (client) and sends out a response or sets some system related parameter in accordance with the given query.

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:

Field Value Description
Enable yes | no; default: none Turns Modbus TCP on or off.
Port integer [0..65535]; default: 502 TCP port used for Modbus communications.
Device ID integer [0..255]; default: 1 The device's Modbus slave ID. When set to 0, it will respond to requests addressed to any ID.
Allow Remote Access yes | no; default: no Allows remote Modbus connections by adding an exception to the device's firewall on the port specified in the field above.
Keep persistent connection yes | no; default: no If enabled, the connection will not be closed after each completed Modbus request.
Connection timeout integer [1..60]; default: 0 Timeout in seconds after which the connection will be closed. Use 0 to use default value provided by Operating System.
Enable custom register block yes | no; default: no Allow custom register block

Get Parameters

Modbus parameters are held within registers. Each register contains 2 bytes of information. For simplification, the number of registers for storing numbers is 2 (4 bytes), while the number of registers for storing text information is 16 (32 bytes). The register numbers and corresponding system values are described in the table below:

{{Template: Networking_{{{name}}}_manual_modbus_modbus_tcp_get_parameters_table}}

Set Parameters

The Modbus daemon can also set some device parameters. These parameters and explanations on how to use them are described in the table below:

{{Template: Networking_{{{name}}}_manual_modbus_modbus_tcp_set_parameters_table}}

* All ON/OFF commands only accept 0 and 1 values, which represent the following:

  • 1 - ON
  • 0 - OFF

Modbus TCP Master

A Modbus master device can request data from Modbus slaves. The Modbus TCP Master section is used to configure Modbus TCP slaves. You can create a maximum of 10 slave configurations.

Slave device configuration

The figure below is an example of the Slave device configuration and the table below provides information on the fields contained in that section:

Field Value Description
Enabled yes | no; default: no Turns communication with the slave device on or off.
Name string; default: none Slave device's name, used for easier management purposes.
Slave ID integer [0..255]; default: none Slave ID. Each slave in a network is assigned a unique identifier ranging from 1 to 255. When the master requests data from a slave, the first byte it sends is the Slave ID. When set to 0, the slave will respond to requests addressed to any ID.
IP address ip; default: none Slave device's IP address.
Port integer [0..65535]; default: none Slave device's Modbus TCP port.
Period integer [1..6400]; default: 60 Interval at which requests are sent to the slave device.
Timeout integer [1..30]; default: 5 Maximum response wait time.

Requests configuration

A Modbus request is a way of obtaining data from Modbus slaves. The master sends a request to a slave specifying the function code to be performed. The slave then sends the requested data back to the Modbus master. You can create a maximum of 64 request configurations for each slave device.

The figure below is an example of the Requests configuration section and the table below provides information contained in the fields of that section:

Field Value Description

Function 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 15 | 16; default: 3 A function code specifies the type of register being addressed by a Modbus request. The codes represent these functions:
  • 1 - read Coil Status
  • 2 - read Input Status
  • 3 - read Holding Registers
  • 4 - read Input Registers
  • 5 - force Single Coil
  • 6 - preset Single Register
  • 15 - force Multiple Coils
  • 16 - force Multiple Registers
First Register integer [1..65536]; default: 1 First Modbus register number from which data will be read.
Note - {{{series}}} Modbus Master uses register numbers, which value is +1 higher than address value.
Number of Registers integer [1..2000]; default: none Number of Modbus registers that will be read during the request.
Enabled yes | no; default: no Turns the request on or off.
Test - (interactive button) Generates a Modbus request according to given parameters in order to test the request configuration. You must first save the configuration before you can use the Test button.
Delete - (interactive button) Deletes the request.
Add - (interactive button) Adds a new request configuration.

Modbus Data to Server

The Modbus Data to Server function provides you with the possibility to set up senders that transfer data collected from Modbus slaves to remote servers. To add a new data sender, enter the server's address, specify the data sending period and click the "Add" button:

Data sender configuration

When you add a new data sender, you will be redirected to its configuration window. The figure below is an example of that window and the table below provides information on the fields that it contains:

Field Value Description

  • Exactly once (2)
    		•
    MQTT: Use TLS yes | no; Default: no Turns TLS authentication on or off.

    MQTT Gateway

    The MQTT Gateway 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 slave.

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

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

    Field Value Description
    Enable off | on; default: off Turns MQTT gateway on or off.
    Host ip | host; default: 127.0.0.1 IP address or hostname of an MQTT broker.
    Port integer [0..65535]; default: 1883 Port number of the MQTT broker.
    Request topic string; default: request MQTT topic for sending requests.
    Response topic string; default: response MQTT topic for subscribing to responses.
    Username string; default: none Username for authentication to the MQTT broker. Leave empty if you do not use client authentication.
    Password string; default: none Password for authentication to the MQTT broker. Leave empty if you do not use client authentication.

    Request messages

    Modbus request data sent in the MQTT payload should be generated in accordance with the following format: 

    0 <COOKIE> <IP_TYPE> <IP> <PORT> <TIMEOUT> <SLAVE_ID> <MODBUS_FUNCTION> <REGISTER_NUMBER> <REGISTER_COUNT/VALUE>

    Explanation:

    • 0 - must be 0, which signifies a textual format (currently the only one implemented).
    • Cookie - a 64-bit unsigned integer in range [0..264]). A cookie is used in order to distinguish which response belongs to which request, each request and the corresponding response contain a matching cookie: a 64-bit unsigned integer.
    • IP type - host IP address type. Possible values:
      • 0 - IPv4 address;
      • 1 - IPv6 address;
      • 2 - hostname that will be resolved to an IP address.
    • IP - IP address of a Modbus TCP slave. IPv6 must be presented in full form (e.g., 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
    • Port - port number of the Modbus TCP slave.
    • Timeout - timeoutfor Modbus TCP connection, in seconds. Range [1..999].
    • Slave ID - Modbus TCP slave ID. Range [1..255].
    • Modbus function - Only these are supported at the moment:
      • 3 - read holding registers;
      • 6 - write to a single holding register;
      • 16 - write to multiple holding registers.
    • Register number - number of the first register (in range [1..65536]) from which the registers will be read/written to.
    • Register count/value - this value depends on the Modbus function:
      • 3 - register count (in range [1..125]); must not exceed the boundary (first register number + register count <= 65537);
      • 6 - register value (in range [0..65535]);
      • 16 - register count (in range [1..123]); must not exceed the boundary (first register number + register count <= 65537); and register values separated with commas, without spaces (e.g., 1,2,3,654,21,789); there must be exactly as many values as specified (with register count); each value must be in the range of [0..65535].

    Response messages

    A special response message can take one of the following forms: 

    <COOKIE> OK                              - for functions 6 and 16
<COOKIE> OK <VALUE> <VALUE> <VALUE>...   - for function 3, where <VALUE> <VALUE> <VALUE>... are read register values
<COOKIE> ERROR: ...                      - for failures, where ... is the error description

    Examples

    Below are a few examples of controlling/monitoring the internal Modbus TCP Slave on {{{name}}}.

    Reboot the device

    • Request:
      0 65432 0 192.168.1.1 502 5 1 6 206 1
    • Response:
      65432 OK

    Retrieve uptime

    • Request:
      0 65432 0 192.168.1.1 502 5 1 3 2 2
    • Response:
      65432 OK 0 5590

    If you're using Eclipse Mosquitto (MQTT implementation used on {{{name}}}), Publish/Subscribe commands may look something like this:

    Retrieve uptime

    • Request:
      mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.1 -p 1883 -t request -m "0 65432 0 192.168.1.1 502 5 1 3 2 2"
    • Response:
      mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.1.1 -p 1883 -t response
65432 OK 0 5590
