moat-modbus

% start synopsis % start main

This is an anyio-enabled async Modbus client/server, built on the sans-IO protocol core moat-lib-modbus (no pymodbus dependency).

% end synopsis

Usage

Check the example client and server for rudimentary usage.

Documentation patches gladly accepted.

Background

moat-modbus diverges from pymodbus in that it does not expose a "data store" context to the user. Instead, every bus value is a separate object, with arbitrary length and encapsulating its own encoding and decoding rules.

A Modbus server exposing writeable registers only needs to

  • register the value in question
  • wait for it to be written to

The rest happens behind the scenes.

Device Server

As some Modbus devices only allow ine server at a time, MoaT's Modbus supports a simple bidirectional gateway.

How to get there:

  • Write a generic device description. Put it in the modbus-data repository.
  • Add an interface overlay that describes which topic to send the data to / which topic to read.
  • Run moat modbus dev poll FILE.yaml. You can use a generic systemd service if you copy the file to /etc/moat/modbus.

The values can be modified (factor+offset); the gateway works in both directions (command/state).

% end main

MQTT / MoaT-KV interface

MoaT-Modbus includes a server that's informed by a device profile. This server acts as a bidirectional gateway from and to MQTT and/or MoaT-KV storage.

See "gateway.rst" for details.

TODO

  • configurable codecs
  • get/set attributes
  • pack multiple values into a message
  • read-after-write if no slot
