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

[grasuoare]

Got same problem. I have already posted on github. Support please for this issue?

[https://github.com/DomoticX/domoticz-modbus/issues/17]

[Antikillerbm]

You are right. It is my mistake, i will come back to modbus later and try again
Actually modbus TCP works normally, I got the problem only with serial modbus
Now I have other serius problem with domoticz and I cant to try sorry

Please, we are all waiting and thank you for this great plugin!

Check drivers and also check modbus. If still not work properly you have to call an expert to resolve this problem.

I keepgetting this error during install on latest version Domoticz:

After this:
sudo pip3 install -U pymodbus pymodbusTCP
I can at least select Modbus read from the drop downlist,but somehow it doesn't work.

In the Domoticz log I see this:

Any ideas what goes wrong?

Hi again,

I have been digging a little further. Apparently you need to add a "/Device ID after the IP address. Maybe mention this at the setup page?
If I use a laptop with QMODMaster, I can reach the PLC via Modbus TCP. If I use domoticz, I always get this error message in the log file:

If have set up the communication in the Hardware like this:


If I use a laptop and run a Modbus TCP Server, I can see the Modbus request from Domoticz and I can also see the reply. So apparently it got stuck on the processing of the reply in Domoticz.
I don't know how this exactly works but to me it seems that it hangs here:

What can I try/ investigate to get this thing up and running?
PLC brand is Omron with a ETN21 Modbus communication card. I have used this PLC setup for my work many times and it works very stable..

Looking forward to any reply

[Wagoneermaster]

The communication between the QModmaster and the PLC looks like this:

[TCP]>Tx > 11:26:34:578 - 00 7D 00 00 00 06 01 04 04 4C 00 01
[TCP]>Rx > 11:26:34:635 - 00 7D 00 00 00 05 01 04 02 02 87

Tx=QModbusMaster
Rx=PLC
in Modbus TCP is:

Tx> 007D 0000 0006 01 04 4C 00 01

007D: Transaction Identifier
0000: Protocol Identifier
0006: Message Length (6 bytes to follow)
01: The Unit Identifier (17 = 11 hex)
04: The Function Code (read Analog Input Registers)
044C: The Data Address of the first register requested. (41100-40001 = 107 =6B hex)
0001: The total number of registers requested. (read 1 registers 1100)

Rx> 00 7D 00 00 00 05 01 04 02 02 87
007D: Transaction Identifier
0000: Protocol Identifier
0005: Message Length (5 bytes to follow)
01: The Unit Identifier
04: The Function Code (read Input Registers)
02: Number of bytes containting data
0287: content of register 044C (1100)

So, somehow, this replay is not recognized.

Anyone??????

[rentboy75]

Have you managed to solve this issue?
I'm struggling with the same error for couple of weeks now: Modbus error decoding or received no data (RTU/ASCII/RTU over TCP)!, check your settings! I can connect easily on Windows10 with the same hardware (waveshare RS485) but no luck on Raspberry Pi with exactly the same settings.

The hardware seems to be recognized and installed correctly:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dmesg | grep FTDI
[ 4.174263] usb 1-1.4.4: Manufacturer: FTDI
[ 5.536166] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device

[ 5.546208] usb 1-1.4.4: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

How to solve it?

EDIT1:
I have managed to get the data from the command prompt using mbpoll:

But still no luck in Domoticz although the settings are exactly the same Any help much appreciated.

Hi All,

Glad to hear you are using the modbus plugin!, after while it wasn't updated because we are focused on Node-Red... developing nice stuff for our upcoming domotica platform

So...because we are releasing our new hardware domotica line-up for Q3-Q4 2020 called ConX....we also want to support Domoticz!
ConX uses USB to RS485 conversion and 12VDC or 24VDC PoE support for all your devices, it uses RJ45 jack and is RTU based! it's a all-in-one wired and robust domotica system suitable to be placed on a DIN rail.

It will be for sale in Q3-Q4 2020, so..stay tuned!

oh well the hub has updated/changed since the poster , hey.... time flies!

[snooze7555]

I get the error (Modbus error decoding or received no data).


When i use a modbus scanner i get a value.
What am I doing wrong

[Domoticx]

@snooze7555

Any specs on the hardware, type? manual? PDF? registers?

Ps. be aware...some solar inverters can have RS485 hw layer but it is not always modbus protocol, but some protocol the manufacturer cooked up...you have to view the manual.

[snooze7555]

Hello,

Solaredge modbus TCP Sunspec Supprted inverters , when i read adress 84 int16 with ShortBus Modbus Scanner port 502. The value is ok (Kw).

https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default ... l-note.pdf

When i use the same settings then the error.

[Domoticx]

TCP/IP example

@snooze7555

In your log there is NO data response, so i did some testing @home with a TCP/IP modbus simulator, and fixed a bug...all, seems fine though...maybe you have to play with some settings...(please try latest version)

Setup the simulator

Ps. Just updated the plugins:
Modbus WRITE v2020.2F
Fixed: Bug pymodbusTCP (TCP/IP) python plugin conversion fixed
Optimized: TCP/IP port debug logging
Optimized: set default TCP/IP port to 502

Modbus WRITE v2020.2D
Optimized: TCP/IP port debug logging
Optimized: set default TCP/IP port to 502

Hello ,

Thanks for the customization, I'm going to test it directly on the solaredge tomorrow.

Thank you very much for the effort.

Hello Domoticx

I test it with a uint 16 and get only the value 65535.
No errors

It must be 19390.

[Domoticx]

@snooze7555,

The plugin reads "65535" wich is the actual value in the register from the device, it is read with pymodbusTCP before any data conversion done by the plugin...so no bug in the plugin atm...

This is wat i read with the modbus scanner, that is the right value. With Domoticz 65535. Value now is 6793 >>> 679.3 Watts
