Script which would log certain data into Modbus register. To add new <b>script</b>, connect to the device via <b>SSH</b> and use:

  $ vi /bin/extramodbus (where extramodbus here could be any name)

  $ vi /bin/extramodbus (this script is for this manual purpose, yours might be different)

Insert following <b>script</b> (this script is for this manual purpose, yours might be different) example:

Insert following <b>script</b> (this script is for this manual purpose, yours might be different) example:

  $ chmod +x /bin/<scriptname> #example: chmod +x /bin/extramodbus

  $ chmod +x /bin/<scriptname> #example: chmod +x /bin/extramodbus

Then you need to run your script to start loggin data to <b>regfile</b>, to start script simple write <script name> & example:

Run the script to start logging data to regfile, to do that simply type in your terminal: <script name> &.

For example:

  $ extramodbus &

  $ extramodbus &

==Reading Created Custom Modbus Registers with ComTestPro==

For example purpose we will be using <b>ComTestPro</b> program, which allows us to get Modbus data from device in <b>Hex</b>. So in order to get <b>date</b> from the router by reading <b>custom Modbus registers</b> we need to use following configuration:

For this example we will be using <b>ComTestPro</b> program, which allows us to get Modbus data from device in <b>Hex</b>. So in order to get <b>date</b> from the router by reading <b>custom Modbus registers</b> we need to use following configuration:

<ul>

<ul>

<li>Protocol: Modbus TCP;</li>

<li>Protocol: Modbus TCP;</li>

<li>Registers: 14 (registers lenght).</li>

<li>Registers: 14 (registers lenght).</li>

</ul>

</ul>

With this configuration you should get routers <b>date</b> in <b>hex</b>. Below is the example of configuration and what answer do we get from the router:

With this configuration you should get routers <b>date</b> in <b>hex</b>. Below is the example of configuration and what reply we get from the router:

And as you can see we received answer in <b>hex</b> which is:

And as you can see we received a reply in hex:  

  5468 7520 4A75 6C20 3330 2031 313A 3539 3A30 3820 5554 4320 3230 3230

And by using certain websites, like this one: '''[https://www.scadacore.com/tools/programming-calculators/online-hex-converter/ online hex converter]''' and there we can analyze the data, and by entering the received <b>hex</b> we can see the routers <b>date</b> which in <b>ASCII</b> is:
