Modbus profiler app

[Daniel]

Please see our new Modbus profile app. Manual JSON creation is finally over.  You can easily create Modbus profiles and upload them to LM profiles. You can also edit live Modbus device and directly send changes to it. No need to remove and add devices again. The app is just profile creator/editor. Any work must be saved either to LM or as file on the PC.

   

1. Import profile of live device already added to LM Modbus tab.
   
2. Import profile from profiles in LM.
   
3. Import JSON profile from PC.
   
4. Edit device global parameters.
   
5. Save device will save it ether to live device(if live device is edited) or to profiles (if imported from profiles or JSON).
   
6. Download profile to PC in JSON format.
   
7. Link to documentation.
   
8. Link to this thread for help.
   
9. Actions - see below.
   
10. Edit local parameters of register. The same action will happen by simply clinking on register table.
    
11. Duplicate a register, see below.
    
12. Delete register.
    

   

If no register selected or only one, then only Add mapping will be visible. If more then one register is selected, then the fallowing options are present:

1. Add new registry mapping
   
2. Duplicate all selected registers
   
3. Delete all selected registers
   
4. Shift selected address by a given number
   

   

1. The number which duplicated object address will be added to original value.
   
2. If selected read_offset is changed instead of address.
   
3. Specify the text which should be replaced in object name.
   
4. Specify the text which will replace text from point 3.
   

See the documentation for description of each parameter.

Editing live devices is a new features and we highly advice to make a backup before

Installation: On the main apps screen click the + icon when logged in as admin. Click the menu in the top left side and select "Install from file". Enable "Allow to install package without signature" option.

Looks nice! Could you please add the signature file which is needed for installation.

[RomansP]

Just mark checkbox "Allow to install package without signature"

If i have several devices created from the same profile, and i want to edit few parameters, what is the best approach here? If i edit profile, will it propagate to all current devices, or once device is imported it is a complete copy and i need to edit each device?

[admin]

You will have to edit each device separately. Each device uses a local copy of profile mapping.

Cool! I like it (:

Simplemente marque la casilla de verificación "Permitir instalar paquetes sin firma"

¿Dónde está ese botón? No lo encuentro.

See Installation note in the first post.

I will ask for help with the following.

When changes are made in the modbus profiler in the value multiplier to 0,1, the changes are made in the json file, but the value is not changed in the group address. The change is only made when a new object mapping is made.

Example:
1. The value written in the group address (e.g. 1/1/1) is 250.
1. There is a temperature value at address 1 that is displayed as 250.
2. Modify the value of the value multiplier to 0.1.
3. The value in the group address is still 250 and will not change even if the value at address 1 is changed to 260, for example.
4. Only when we perform a new mapping does it change to 25.0 or 26.0.
5. Value delta is set to 0.001.
6. Write to bus is checked.

So is the condition that we always need to perform a new mapping when changing in json using modbus profiler?
