Modbus function code 23 (#17)

[alb-smith]

I partially solved it using the send() function sending a string to the device.
In debug I can see the response which is complete and correct but the mb:receive() function returns a timeout error.

Code:

require('luamodbus')
function hexToString(hex)
    -- Remove any spaces or invalid characters
    hex = hex:gsub("([^0-9a-fA-F])", "")
   
    -- Convert each pair of hex digits into a character
    local str = ""
    for i = 1, #hex, 2 do
        local byte = hex:sub(i, i + 1)
        str = str .. string.char(tonumber(byte, 16))
    end
    return str
end
buffer = {}
function logger(c)
    table.insert(buffer, c)
end
local mb2 = luamodbus.rtu()
mb2:open('/dev/RS485-2', 19200, 'E', 8, 1, 'H')
mb2:connect()
mb2:setslave(1)
mb2:setreceivetimeout(1.0)
mb2:setresponsetimeout(1.0)
mb2:setdebug(logger)
local variable_number = '11'  -- in hexadecimal
hex_decoded = hexToString("011700000006000000060c0a01ae0f000000" .. variable_number .. "00000000")

-- Sending
variabile,err_s=mb2:send(hex_decoded)
-- Response
local response,err = mb2:receive()

-- Log the sending operation
if variabile then
    log("Is send successful?: ")
    log(variabile)
else
    log("Sending error: "..err_s)
end

-- Log the response
if response then
    log("Response from device: " .. table.concat(response, ", "))
else
    log("Response error: ".. err_r)
end

log(table.concat(buffer))
mb2:close()

Logs report:

Response error: Operation timed out

The response captured by debug is complete and correct.
I tried to change setreceivetimeout() and setresponsetimeout() with no effects.
