I am new to Modbus protocol. I want to read data from RS485. I have written C code using Libmodbus library on Linux board but unable to read data getting error connection timed out.
I connect the LInux board to my PC through a 485-to-USB module, and use the modbus slave software on my PC for modbus testing. To the RS485 port of Linux machine where I run the below C code there.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include "modbus-rtu.h" //modbus动态库文件
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
uint16_t buffer[10];
modbus_t *ctx = NULL;
int rc;
int i;
//以串口的方式创建libmobus实例,并设置参数
ctx = modbus_new_rtu("/dev/ttyS7", 115200, 'N', 8, 1);
modbus_rtu_set_serial_mode(ctx, 1);
if (ctx == NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Unable to allocate libmodbus contex\n");
return -1;
}
modbus_set_debug(ctx, 1); //设置1可看到调试信息
modbus_set_slave(ctx, 1); //设置slave ID
if (modbus_connect(ctx) == -1) //等待连接设备
{
fprintf(stderr, "Connection failed:%s\n", modbus_strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
while (1)
{
printf("\n----------------\n");
rc = modbus_read_registers(ctx, 0, 10, buffer);
if (rc == -1) //读取保持寄存器的值,可读取多个连续输入保持寄存器
{
fprintf(stderr,"%s\n", modbus_strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
for (i=0; i<10; i++)
{
printf("reg[%d] = %d(0x%x)\n", i, buffer[i], buffer[i]);
}
usleep(100000);
}
modbus_close(ctx); //关闭modbus连接
modbus_free(ctx); //释放modbus资源,使用完libmodbus需要释放掉
return 0;
}
I have checked the communication on the modbus slave, the sending and receiving have no problem, as shown in the following picture:
Since I reserved more than one RS485 interface on the Linux board, I connected another RS485 interface to the PC through another 485-to-USB module, and checked the communication on the 485 bus with the serial port debugging assistant.
communition on serial port debugging
I also wrote a set of custom protocols for RS485 communication between Linux board and raspbery pico board before, and the communication have no problem, so there should be no problem with the hardware.
I have checked the previous post on stackoverflow, and one suggested to start the test from 19200 baud rate, but I adjusted the baud rate of both Linux board and modbus slave to 19200, the error is the same, still timeout error.
