Python plugin: Modbus RTU / ASCII / TCP/IP Topic is solved

[Domoticx]

Installing the READ plugin hangs domoticz. After restarting Domoticz, no screen visible and no connection via the browser is possible. SSH via Putty remains active. Removing the plugin from the Plugin directory and Domoticz restart solved the problem.

It is sadly, because it looked promising

The plugin is written for the stable V3.8153, wich could not work in beta V3.8795, that could be the problem

@Domoticx

I am not sure about the version difference, as I tried the plugin before on beta.
Received the following errors in the log. The hardware is called Test Modbus

/usr/lib/python35.zip This directory does not exist on my Rpi. The plugin is located in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/modbus-read/
The hardware is the same as on your picture.
What about the data type? Passtrough (1 register)

[Domoticx]

Hi McMelloW,

Well it runs perfectly on my V3.8153 installation without any errors...the python error you see is the python path include on your RPi, have you installed all dependancies?:

1. pymodbus
2. pymodbusTCP
3. six (if needed)

Passtrough means "no data conversion" so the value in domoticz is the same as fetched from modbus.

Hi

this is that i wanted to work with industrial I/O Thanks

i see in example that you have put value 44 in 40001(+2) address register that you read after

but i don't see this setting in your setting screen
what about read or write in 2048 (HEX 800) ? or others ? (Modbus TCP IP + port 502)

i will try this

All dependencies are installed. I see domoticz on a win10 laptop in the browser, connection to the Rpi 2 is via SSH. Because all pages in the browser are blank, you can not check anything. After removing the plugin and a restart of domoticz everything is visible. The hardware is still there, but no devices.

hello

i try to install but i have not pip3 installer and i don't now how to install six.py for python 3.4

can you help me ?

thanks

Hi

You are welcome

i see in example that you have put value 44 in 40001(+2) address register that you read after

but i don't see this setting in your setting screen

In the domoticz settings It is register 2, which reads 44.

what about read or write in 2048 (HEX 800) ? or others ? (Modbus TCP IP + port 502)

Only the READ plugin has proper TCP/IP functionality

Hello

What about the RS232?
Is there a chance to have a plugin for this serial or is it more complicated?

Hi

Many thanks

Read Plugin works fine with domoticz beta 3.8975 and FEN20 modul http://pdb2.turck.de/en/DE/products/000 ... 730002003a
read single input fonction at register adress 0 1 2 and 3 for read input state

Write plugin doesn't work to write coil or register at 2048 0x1 or 0x0 payload to set on/off output

great job

Hi,

At this moment I am experimenting with a tag reader (RC522 + arduino nano clone). I want to use a tag to disarm the security system. In addition, I prefer a wired connection to the rpi on which Domoticz runs.
By trial and error I succeeded in having tags read and a recognized tag sets pin 9 from the nano to low and after 5 seconds back to high. Pin 9 is connected via wire to a piface and thus the security system can be deactivated.

Code: Select all

//Programa : RFID - Toegangscontrole RFID
//https://www.filipeflop.com/blog/controle-acesso-leitor-rfid-arduino/
 
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MFRC522.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
 
#define SS_PIN 10
#define RST_PIN 9
MFRC522 mfrc522(SS_PIN, RST_PIN);   // Create MFRC522 instance.
 
LiquidCrystal lcd(6, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2); 
 
char st[20];

int ledPin = 8;   // Gate BS170 verbinden met pin 8, source met massa en drain met betreffende ingang Piface
 
void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600);   // Initialiseer seriële communicatie
  SPI.begin();      // Initialiseer  SPI bus
  mfrc522.PCD_Init();   // Initialiseer MFRC522
    pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); 
  }
 
void loop() 
{
  // Look for new cards
  if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_IsNewCardPresent()) 
  {
    return;
  }
  // Select one of the cards
  if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_ReadCardSerial()) 
  {
    return;
  }
  // Toon UID tag
  Serial.print("UID van de tag :");
  String inhoud= "";
  byte letter;
  for (byte i = 0; i < mfrc522.uid.size; i++) 
  {
     Serial.print(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i] < 0x10 ? " 0" : " ");
     Serial.print(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i], HEX);
     inhoud.concat(String(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i] < 0x10 ? " 0" : " "));
     inhoud.concat(String(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i], HEX));
  }
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Melding : ");
  inhoud.toUpperCase();
  if (inhoud.substring(1) == "55 22 56 BE") //UID 1 - Jan
  {
    Serial.println("Lezer 1, tag Jan");
    Serial.println();
    lcd.clear();
    lcd.setCursor(0,0);
    lcd.print("Hallo Jan!");
    lcd.setCursor(0,1);
    lcd.print("      Alarm uit!");
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
    delay(3000);
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
    openingstekst();
  }
 
} 
 
void openingstekst()
{
  lcd.clear();
  lcd.print("Houd uw tag");  
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print("  voor de lezer!");  
}

A recognized tag also generates a serial print.

1. Is it possible to send the serial print via Modbus RS485 RTU to Domoticz (for example to a text sensor)? If so, I get a log that states which tag has been read and when. How can I achieve this goal?

I have a USB> RS485 and some TTL> RS485 modules in stock. I will succeed in connecting the hardware (Google).
Further help is very desirable.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you!

Ps. as stated above, the write plugin is not updated yet...., i will try to make some time this weekend...

Hello Jan,

Yes, you can make a modbus slave from your arduino, and domoticz could read it out with this plugin.
You cannot push to domoticz, but domoticz can pull with this plugin, but there is also no binary/string support (yet) in this plugin.

Hi Antoine,

According to this youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRpWjjRNE-c ,RS232 is also suported by pymodbus out of the box, can you give it a try?

Do you not have a lan connection possible?

Today I have finished , togehter with Mello the py script to talk modbus via lan an can say, works perfectly !
I have it running for two days now an every 10 sec a SolarEdge update

Enable modbus on lan is a 5 min job to do...

Hello

I am planing to control my ventilation with Domoticz so I try to know how. It means that I am not able to test the plugin yet. I installed it and I need to understand how it's working.

Lan, would be also practical since I wouldn't need to move my Raspberry Pi. How should I connect the RS232 to the lan? An adaptator RS232 to RJ45 would be enough to do the Job here? Must it be a direct connection between the Pi and the RJ45 adaptator or can I connect directly to my home network?

Cheers

Antoine

Stupid me... I simply assumed you have a SolarEdge too... Appologies...

I have no experience with a serial to lan other than big professional devices..

thanks Domoticx

work's fine for me in TCP mode

is there a possibility to add measurement management unit directly in the plugin ? m3, liters, kw, kwh etc

and create un counter device?

Great to hear!

1) I don't know how to do that (yet)
2) There is no more room for options in the plugin... (don't know if domoticz beta has more than 6?)

[Domoticx]

Hi all,

I wrote some articles on domoticx.com to create your own TCP/IP modbus unit with an arduino and Ethernet W5100 shield or ENC28J60 module:

Ethernet W5100 shield: http://domoticx.com/arduino-shield-ethe ... -ip-slave/
ENC28J60 module: http://domoticx.com/module-ethernet-lan ... -ip-slave/

So i can test and update the WRITE plugin soon with actual hardware!
