Detailed Description

Modbus ASCII Master Protocol class.

This class realizes the Modbus ASCII master protocol. It provides functions to open and to close serial port as well as data and control functions which can be used at any time after the protocol has been opened. The data and control functions are organized different conformance classes. For a more detailed description of the data and control functions see section Data and Control Functions for all Modbus Protocol Flavours.

It is possible to instantiate multiple instances of this class for establishing multiple connections on different serial ports (They should be executed in separate threads).

All functions have been implemented thread-safe. It is also possible to instantiate multiple instances for establishing multiple connections on different serial ports.

Member Function Documentation

synchronized void openProtocol	(	String	portName,
		int	baudRate,
		int	dataBits,
		int	stopBits,
		int	parity
	)			throws IOException, PortInUseException, UnsupportedCommOperationException

Opens a Modbus ASCII serial port with specific port parameters.

This function opens the serial port. After a port has been opened data and control functions can be used.

Note:: The default time-out for the data transfer is 1000 ms.; The default poll delay is 0 ms.; Automatic retries are switched off (retry count is 0).; The Modbus standard requires two stop bits if no parity is chosen. This library is not enforcing this but it is a recommended configuration.

Parameters:

	portName	Serial port identifier (e.g. "COM1", "/dev/ser1 or /dev/ttyS0")
	baudRate	The port baudRate in bps (typically 1200 - 19200)
	dataBits	DATABITS_7: 7 data bits, DATABITS_8: data bits
	stopBits	STOPBITS_1: 1 stop bit, STOPBITS_1_5: 1.5 stop bits, STOPBITS_2: 2 stop bits
	parity	PARITY_NONE: no parity, PARITY_ODD: odd parity, PARITY_EVEN: even parity, PARITY_MARK: mark parity, PARITY_SPACE: space parity

Exceptions:

	IOException	An I/O error occured
	UnsupportedCommOperationException	A communication parameter is not supported
	PortInUseException	Port is already used by somebody else
	InvalidParameterException	A parameter is invalid

synchronized void configureSingleReg32BitMode ( int slaveAddr ) [inherited]

Configures all slaves for Single Register 32-bit Mode.

Some Modbus flavours like the Daniel/Enron protocol represent a 32-bit value using one 32-bit Modbus register instead of two 16-bit registers.

Parameters:

slaveAddr

Modbus address of slave device or unit identifier (Range: 1 - 255). A value of zero configures the behaviour for broadcasting.

void configureCountFromOne ( ) [inherited]

Configures the reference counting scheme to start with one for all slaves.

This renders the reference range to be 1 to 0x10000 and register #0 is an illegal register.

Remarks:: This is the default mode

synchronized void configureCountFromOne ( int slaveAddr ) [inherited]

Configures a slave's reference counting scheme to start with one.

This renders the reference range to be 1 to 0x10000 and register #0 is an illegal register.

Parameters:

slaveAddr

Modbus address of slave device or unit identifier (Range: 1 - 255). A value of zero configures the behaviour for broadcasting.

Remarks:: This is the default mode

void configureCountFromZero ( ) [inherited]

Configures the reference counting scheme to start with zero for all slaves.

This is also known as PDU addressing.

This renders the valid reference range to be 0 to 0xFFFF.

This renders the first register to be #0 for all slaves.

synchronized void configureCountFromZero ( int slaveAddr ) [inherited]

Configures a slave's reference counting scheme to start with zero.

This is also known as PDU addressing.

This renders the valid reference range to be 0 to 0xFFFF.

Parameters:

slaveAddr

Modbus address of slave device or unit identifier (Range: 1 - 255). A value of zero configures the behaviour for broadcasting.

void configureLittleEndianInts ( ) [inherited]

Disables word swapping for int data type functions for all slaves.

Modbus is using little-endian word order for 32-bit values. This setting assumes that the slave also serves 32-bit data in in little little-endian word order.

Remarks:: This is the default mode

synchronized void configureLittleEndianInts ( int slaveAddr ) [inherited]

Disables word swapping for int data type functions on a per slave basis.

Modbus is using little-endian word order for 32-bit values. This setting assumes that the slave also serves 32-bit data in little little-endian word order.

Remarks:: This is the default mode

Parameters:

slaveAddr

Modbus address of slave device or unit identifier (Range: 1 - 255). A value of zero configures the behaviour for broadcasting.

void configureBigEndianInts ( ) [inherited]

Configures int data type functions to do a word swap for all slaves.

Modbus is using little-endian word order for 32-bit values. The data transfer functions operating upon 32-bit int data types can be configured to do a word swap which enables them to read 32-bit data correctly from a big-endian machine.

synchronized void configureBigEndianInts ( int slaveAddr ) [inherited]

Enables int data type functions to do a word swap on a per slave basis.

Modbus is using little-endian word order for 32-bit values. The data transfer functions operating upon 32-bit int data types can be configured to do a word swap which enables them to read 32-bit data correctly from a big-endian machine.

Parameters:

slaveAddr

Modbus address of slave device or unit identifier (Range: 1 - 255). A value of zero configures the behaviour for broadcasting.

void configureLittleEndianFloats ( ) [inherited]

Disables float data type functions to do a word swap for all slaves.

Modbus is using little-endian word order for 32-bit values. This setting assumes that the slaves also serves 32-bit floats in little little-endian word order which is the most common case.

Remarks:: This is the default mode

synchronized void configureLittleEndianFloats ( int slaveAddr ) [inherited]

Disables float data type functions to do a word swap on a per slave basis.

Modbus is using little-endian word order for 32-bit values. This setting assumes that the slave also serves 32-bit floats in little little-endian word order which is the most common case.

Remarks:: This is the default mode

Parameters:

slaveAddr

Modbus address of slave device or unit identifier (Range: 1 - 255). A value of zero configures the behaviour for broadcasting.

void configureSwappedFloats ( ) [inherited]

Configures float data type functions to do a word swap for all slaves.

The data functions operating upon 32-bit float data types can be configured to do a word swap.

Note:: Most platforms store floats in IEEE 754 little-endian order which does not need a word swap.

synchronized void configureSwappedFloats ( int slaveAddr ) [inherited]

Enables float data type functions to do a word swap on a per slave basis.

The data functions operating upon 32-bit float data types can be configured to do a word swap.

Note:: Most platforms store floats in IEEE 754 little-endian order which does not need a word swap.

Parameters:

slaveAddr

Modbus address of slave device or unit identifier (Range: 1 - 255). A value of zero configures the behaviour for broadcasting.
