Modbus server software serial#
That might be a bit overwhelming but it is actually very easy: instead of connecting RX to TX as you'd do for a normal serial port you will have two cables for each device (they are called A and B or D+ and D-) that you can put together. If you follow the link you will find many resources and documentation. An RS-485 multipoint serial link is the most frequent solution to this problem. If you have a point-to-point serial connection (no matter the voltage levels you have, they can be TTL 3.3VDC or RS-232) there is no way you can have more than one Modbus client connecting to the same server.įor a serial link to have more than two devices (two or multiple clients sending queries to a Modbus server, for instance) you need a way for the devices to take control of the bus when they communicate and let go of it when they are idle.


If that's the case I'm afraid you need to go back all the way to the physical layer. That seems to me a not-so-straightforward way of saying that you are dealing with a serial link. it is RTU over a linux file descriptor /dev/ttyS1 Serializing communication on a first come first served REQ/REP basis. When multiple clients are connected, cross messages are avoided by This proxyĪcts as a bridge between the client and the modbus device. Many modbus devices support only one or very few clients. Assuming you are dealing with Modbus TCP you can try modbus-proxy:
