Universal Modbus TCP/RTU Slave

[Daniel]

A new version of the modbus slave script where you can freely define coil/registers and even use bigger data-types and multiple slaves.

Data-types supported:
  [ dt.bool ] = 1,
  [ dt.bit4 ] = 1,
  [ dt.int8 ] = 1,
  [ dt.uint8 ] = 1,
  [ dt.int16 ] = 1,
  [ dt.uint16 ] = 1,
  [ dt.float16 ] = 1,
  [ dt.int32 ] = 2,
  [ dt.uint32 ] = 2,
  [ dt.float32 ] = 2,
  [ dt.int64 ] = 4,


The number next to DPT is representing how many registers will be used per object. It means if int64 is used make sure to leave gap for 4 registers in the mapping table.

Only 2023 firmware and newer is supported

2a. For Modbus TCP slave create resident script with 0 interval and set object mapping in the table. Remember to create gap in registers for 32 and 64 bit objects. 

Code:

local mb = require('user.mbslave')
local copas = require('copas')
local socket = require('socket')
local address = '*'
local port = 502
local server = assert(socket.bind(address, port))

mb.setmapping({
  ['*'] = {
    coils = {
      [0] = '0/0/1',
      [1] = '1/1/1',
      [2] = '1/1/2',
    },
    registers = {
      [0] = '1/1/4',
      [1] = '1/1/10',
      [3] = '32/1/6',
      [5] = '32/1/13',
    }
  }
})

mb.setswap('w')
mb.setfloat16precision(2)

local function handler(sock)
  copas.setErrorHandler(log)

  sock = copas.wrap(sock)
  sock:settimeout(60)

  while true do
    local res, err = mb.tcphandler(sock)
    if not res then
      break
    end
  end

  sock:close()
end

copas.addserver(server, handler, 60)
copas.loop()

2b. For Modbus RTU slave create resident script with 0 interval and set object mapping in the table. Remember to create gap in registers for 32 and 64 bit objects. Change serial port settings in mbrtu:open as needed.

Code:

local mb = require('user.mbslave')
local mbrtu = require('luamodbus').rtu()

mbrtu:open('/dev/RS485-1', 9600, 'E', 8, 1, 'H')
mbrtu:connect()
mbrtu:setslave('*') -- '*' handles multiple RTU slave IDs

mb.setmapping({
  [1] = {
    coils = {
      [0] = '0/0/1',
      [1] = '1/1/1',
      [2] = '1/1/2',
    },
    registers = {
      [0] = '1/1/4',
      [1] = '1/1/10',
      [3] = '32/1/6',
      [5] = '32/1/13',
    }
  }
})

mb.setswap('w')
mb.setfloat16precision(2)

while true do
  mb.rtuhandler(mbrtu)
end

Hello Daniel.
Thanks for the info, but it doesn't work.
Communication with the Modbus master is not established.

[Daniel]

Works for me, paste your script.

[Daniel]

And make sure all other modbus scripts are disabled

[palomino]

Hi Daniel, I don't understand this instruction, can you give me more explanation. "Remember to enable/disable resident script after each change."
The master can write and read data from the LM slave?
where can I add the slave address?

[Daniel]

In current firmware a resident script with 0 interval must be disabled and then enabled again to load any change made in the script.
In the table where you have ['*'] is place for slave ID. '*' means it will accept requests to any slave ID. You can change it to [1] and then it will be slave 1

[palomino]

Hello Daniel. The script worked very well , thank you very much.

[palomino]

Hello Daniel.
I am getting this message in logs: *nill
What can be?

Adicional,
I need to use 150 registers, but i see in te code that only I can use 125, how can i increase it?

[admin]

Replace this line:

Code:

copas.setErrorHandler(log)

With this:

Code:

copas.setErrorHandler(function(msg)
  if msg ~= nil then
    log(msg)
  end
end)

[palomino]

Hello Daniel.
I chage this line in the resident script, but still showing the same message in logs.
I also see that CPU/IO increases a lot, I'm trying to read 150 objects

[admin]

Are you sure that the log comes from this script? Check the name of the script in Logs. Just to be sure restart the Modbus script via disable/enable.
As defined by the Modbus standard you can read up to 125 registers at once using a single request. But each devices can have up to 65536 registers.

[palomino]

Hello Daniel.
I did what you told me. But is the same logs massage. How do I read more than 125 registers ?

[Daniel]

You can't as modbus standard is defining it, but this is limit for reading 125 at once, you can make several reads with smaller batches.

[palomino]

I can use two diferent script?
A question a Modbus Master can write to me more than 125 registration?, I can have more than 125 register in memory to other modbus master write to me.?

[Daniel]

Back to basics This is slave script, it does not read anything. Your master is responsible for reading. In there you define how it reads. Nothing to do with LM.

[palomino]

Hi Daniel
The idea is this. I need that one or more masters can write to me in 150 madbus registers. In other words, I need to create a mapping register with 150 register so that they master can write to me and I can have them available this register to show them in LM. it's possible?

I made myself clear?

[admin]

You can have up to 65536 registers.

[Fahd]

You can have up to 65536 registers.

can we test the exported point with LM5? 
with the read test !

You can have up to 65536 registers.

can we test the exported point with LM5? 
with the read test !

Trying to make a reading test with Modbus Poll program and the values do not change at all, please see attached.
this is the resident script that I'm using 

Code:

local mb = require('user.mbtcp')
local copas = require('copas')
local socket = require('socket')
local address = '*'
local port = 502

local server = assert(socket.bind(address, port))

mb.setmapping({
  ['1'] = {
    coils = {
      [0] = '0/0/1',
      [1] = '0/0/2',
      [2] = '0/0/3',
      [4] = '0/0/4',
    },
    registers = {
      [0] = '1/1/4',
      [5] = '1/1/6',
    }
  }
})

mb.setswap('w')

local function handler(sock)
  copas.setErrorHandler(log)

  sock:settimeout(60)

  while true do
    local res, err = mb.tcphandler(sock)

    if not res then
      break
    end
  end

  sock:close()
end

copas.addserver(server, handler, 60)
copas.loop()

[Daniel]

You can use RTU test. Check if you have any errors in slave script.

[Fahd]

You can use RTU test. Check if you have any errors in slave script.

 Those group addresses should be exported to the Modbus TCP/IP, is that right?
There's no errors
