I'm looking for an example of a bash script line to execute a Modbus RTU read request to a slave.

Thanks

Great, thank you for your answer

I have another question:

I have enabled router as Modbus TCP Slave (Network -> Modbus -> Modbus TCP Slave);

and enabled Custom Register Block in the webUI from (40000 to 41000)

and enabled Router as Modbus serial master to read slaves via RS485.

Can I store the RTU registers in the Custom Register Block and access them via Modbus TCP, or in other words can I forward the RTU registers to the TCP custom registers?

Thanks

Answer 2

Hello,

For Modbus TCP, I use modbus_tcp_test

For Morbus RTU, I use the same thing after setting the Modbus Gateway function, which allows to translate the Modbus TCP request into Modbus RTU directly

Example

modbus_tcp_test 192.168.1.251 502 5 255 3 1 10 hex 1

Modbus TCP device (slave ID 255)

Reading from %MW1 to %MW10 on IP 192.168.1.251, Device ID 255, presentation of the result in hexa

In Modbus RTU, after configuration of the gateway

modbus_tcp_test 127.0.0.1 502 5 2 3 1 10 hex 1

Execute %MW1 %MW10 on the local address of the gateway, Modbus RTU slave ID 2, result in hex

root@Teltonika-TRB245:~# modbus_tcp_test -h                                                                                                  

Usage:                                                                                                                                       

        modbus_tcp_test IP PORT TIMEOUT SLAVE_ID FUNCTION REG_ADDRESS REG_COUNT/VALUE(S) DATA_TYPE NO_BRACKETS
