Create Modbus client via script

[FatMax]

Hi,

Yes this is possible, this script simulates the form you normal fill in manually, basicly any user form can be simulated and automated (;

Try this script:

Code:

-- Batch adding modbus devices - Created by Erwin van der Zwart - Schneider Electric Netherlands -----------
-- For spaceLYnk FW 1.2.1 or higher and homeLYnk FW 1.5.1 or higher ----------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------- Start Parameters ---------------------------------------------

-- Set username and password for access to SL/HL
username = 'admin'
password = 'admin'

---------------------------------------------- End Parameters ----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------- DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING UNDER THIS LINE -----------------------------------
-- Load modules
require('json')
require('socket.url')
require('socket.http')

-- Get current HL/SL ip address
data = io.readproc('if-json')
data = json.decode(data)
ip = data.eth0.inetaddr

-- Create url for modbus device creation
url = 'http://' .. username .. ':' .. password .. '@' .. ip .. '/scada-main/general/plugin?plugin=modbus&request=device-save'

-- Set counters for creation log
number_of_devices = 0
number_failed = 0

-- Function to send request to create modbus device
function url_send(device_proto, device_name, device_profile, device_ip, device_port, device_slave, device_pollinterval, device_id)
 local device = {
     proto = device_proto,
     name = device_name,
   profile = device_profile,
     ip = device_ip,
     port = device_port,
   slave = device_slave,
   pollinterval = device_pollinterval,
   id = device_id,
    }
 data = json.encode(device)
    form_data = 'data=' .. socket.url.escape(data)
    socket.http.TIMEOUT = 15  
    local res, code, response_header = socket.http.request(url, form_data)
 return res, code, response_header
end

-- Create devices
for i = 1, 10, 1 do
 -- used fields to send: protocol,name,profile,ip,port,slave,pollinterval,id
 result, code, response_header = url_send("tcp", "Device " .. i, "iEM-iEM3155", "192.168.10." .. i, "502", i, "5", "")
 -- Calculate results for creation devices log
 if result == '{"success":true}' then
   number_of_devices = number_of_devices + 1
 else
   number_failed = number_failed + 1
 end
end

-- Create result log
if number_failed == 0 then
 log ("Created " .. number_of_devices .. " devices succesfully")
else
 log ("Created " .. number_of_devices .. " devices succesfully and creation of " .. number_failed .. " devices failed")
end

-- Disable script when done automaticly
script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)

This functionality (which is utterly brilliant by the way) seems to be broken i FW 2.1.1. I´ve tried on all FW up to 2.1.0 and it works as a charm. I suspect there's some parameters missing. When I log the response i get a 404. Do you have any idea what might have changed (I don't like undocumented changes!!!) in FW 2.1.1?
