Morning
I have the following code running in the script console as a rough test, it is a Modbus broadcast using function 16 and it works OK except any values above INT127 or HEX 7F causes a failure, I really need to be-able to write up to 255 or FF.
its easiest to change the “data” bytes and it needs an open port on the slave
import socket
import struct
#write Modbus Function 16
# Slave IP address
IP = "192.168.2.106"
#Slave Port No
PORT = 502
#Set UP Modbus headers (Four Byte)
Modbus = (0,1,0,0,)
# Length Total bytes after this (Two Bytes)
Length = (0,11,)
#Modbus Unit ID (one Byte)
unit = (0,)
#Modbus Function (one Byte)
Function = (16,)
# Modbus register start (Two Bytes)
Ref = (0,2,)
#total Word count (two Bytes)
WCount = (0,2,)
#Total byte Count (one Byte)
BCount = (4,)
#Data to write (See Byte Count)
data = (0,123,0,127)
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
MESSAGE = (Modbus+Length+unit+Function+Ref+WCount+BCount+data)
print MESSAGE
sock.connect((IP, PORT))
sock.send(MESSAGE)
sock.close()What have I done wrong? its driving me silly.
