Class description for MODBUS

Properties

Port init
Host init

Fields

PORT 0S
HOST ''
TID 0L

Routines

result = MODBUS::INIT( [Host=Host] [, Port=Port])

This function is used to choose connection settings for a newly created modbus TCP connection.

MODBUS::Set [, Port=Port] [, Host=Host]

This procedure allows us to change the Host and Port an existing MODBUS connection will connect to.

result = MODBUS::Get( [PORT=PORT] [, HOST=HOST] [, TID=TID])

This function/procedure allows to read the internal state of a MODBUS object.

MODBUS::Get, Port=Port, Host=Host, Tid=Tid
result = MODBUS::Header(Command)

This function adds a modbus TCP header to a byte-array containing a specific Command.

MODBUS::Error, Errno, Func [, Errmsg=Errmsg]

This procedure prints a MODBUS error message.

result = MODBUS::WriteMultReg(Addr, Regs)

This function writes a block of contiguous registers to a modbus device (socket).

result = MODBUS::ReadInputReg(Addr, NumRegs)

This function reads 1-125 contiguous input registers from a modbus device (socket).

Routine details

topMODBUS::INIT

result = MODBUS::INIT( [Host=Host] [, Port=Port])

This function is used to choose connection settings for a newly created modbus TCP connection.

This function is only to be called from OBJ_NEW().

Return value

This function is only used inside OBJ_NEW(), which will then return a new MODBUS object.

Keywords

Host in optional

The DNS-name of the modbus SPS.

Port in optional

The TCP port of the modbus SPS.

topMODBUS::Set

MODBUS::Set [, Port=Port] [, Host=Host]

This procedure allows us to change the Host and Port an existing MODBUS connection will connect to.

This procedure changes the Host and Port stored inside the MODBUS object.

Keywords

Port in optional

The TCP port of the modbus SPS.

Host in optional

The DNS-name of the modbus SPS.

Examples

Modbus = OBJ_NEW("MODBUS") Modbus->Set, Port=499

topMODBUS::Get

result = MODBUS::Get( [PORT=PORT] [, HOST=HOST] [, TID=TID])

This function/procedure allows to read the internal state of a MODBUS object. The function can return only one of HOST, PORT or TID --- if more than one keyword parameter is specified, only the Host (or, if that one wasn't requested, the Port) will be returned.

Return value

The function returns the first requested value (in the order HOST, PORT, TID).

Keywords

PORT in optional

The TCP port of the modbus SPS.

HOST in optional

The DNS-name of the modbus SPS.

TID in optional

The last transaction id used.

Examples

Modbus = OBJ_NEW("MODBUS") Port = Modbus->Get(/PORT) Modbus->Get(Host=Host)

topMODBUS::Header

result = MODBUS::Header(Command)

This function adds a modbus TCP header to a byte-array containing a specific Command.

This function increases self.tid, the objects transaction id, by one.

Return value

This function returns the Command with a prefixed modbus header.

Parameters

Command in required

a byte array containing (Function, Address, Arguments).

topMODBUS::Error

MODBUS::Error, Errno, Func [, Errmsg=Errmsg]

This procedure prints a MODBUS error message.

Parameters

Errno in required

Number of standard error-message.

Func in required

Name of calling function.

Keywords

Errmsg in optional

Special error-message to print.

topMODBUS::WriteMultReg

result = MODBUS::WriteMultReg(Addr, Regs)

This function writes a block of contiguous registers to a modbus device (socket).

Regs: has to be an even number of bytes, and at most 246 Bytes (123 WORDs)

Return value

This function outputs the reply sent by the MODBUS-device

Parameters

Addr in required

(16bit) Starting address of registers to write

Regs in required

String of HEX-values to send (HiLo-encoded)

Examples

; Enable Device Modbus = OBJ_NEW("MODBUS") print, Modbus->WriteMultReg('4020'XL, [0B,1B])

McCabe complexity:

topMODBUS::ReadInputReg

result = MODBUS::ReadInputReg(Addr, NumRegs)

This function reads 1-125 contiguous input registers from a modbus device (socket).

NumRegs: has to be a number between 0 and 125 Words (250 Bytes).

Return value

The function returns the reply sent by the MODBUS-device.

Parameters

Addr in required

(16bit) Starting address of registers to read

NumRegs in required

How many registers to read.

Examples

; Read complete set of registers (20 Bytes) Modbus = OBJ_NEW("MODBUS") print, Modbus->ReadInputReg('4020'XL, 10)
