Yanked

This release has been yanked by its maintainers, and will be ignored by installers, except when explicitly specified.
Consider using release 4.3.0 instead.
Reason given by maintainers: Feature incomplete

modbus-connection

A small, backend-neutral Modbus connection abstraction.

The top-level modbus_connection package is a pure interface — the ModbusConnection / ModbusUnit Protocols and a tiny exception hierarchy — so consumers can type against it without committing to a backend. Two interchangeable backends implement it (pymodbus and tmodbus); the bare install pulls neither.

One physical Modbus link addresses many units (1–247). Sharing a single, internally-serialized connection across many consumers is strictly better than each opening a competing socket. This package is the connection abstraction that makes that sharing possible while keeping the backend swappable.

Install

pip install "modbus-connection[pymodbus]"   # pymodbus backend
pip install "modbus-connection[tmodbus]"    # tmodbus backend

Example

Model a device once, then connect, update, read, and write it. The optional modbus_connection.model framework maps a device's registers and coils to typed attributes and reads the whole device in as few Modbus calls as possible.

import asyncio

from modbus_connection.tmodbus import connect_tcp
from modbus_connection.model import Component, gauge, uint32, coil


class Meter(Component):
    voltage = gauge(0, 0.1, unit="V")     # scaled 16-bit register
    """Grid voltage."""

    current = gauge(1, 0.1, unit="A")
    """Grid current."""

    energy = uint32(2, unit="Wh")         # 32-bit over two registers
    """Lifetime energy."""

    relay = coil(0, writable=True)
    """Load relay."""


async def main() -> None:
    conn = await connect_tcp("192.168.1.50", port=502)
    try:
        meter = Meter(conn.for_unit(1))

        await meter.async_update()        # one pooled block read
        print(meter.voltage, meter.current, meter.energy, meter.relay)

        await meter.write("relay", True)  # write a writable field
    finally:
        await conn.close()


asyncio.run(main())

Documentation

Everything else — the other transports (UDP, serial, TLS), the full field-type and read-planning reference, repeated sub-units, the SunSpec field types and model generator, the query helper, the in-memory mock backend for tests, and the exception hierarchy — lives on the website:

Develop

uv sync --extra pymodbus
uv run pytest

Formatting/linting is ruff and type-checking is mypy, both enforced in CI. Run them locally with:

uv run mypy

Install the commit hook with prek so code is formatted on commit:

uvx prek install          # set up the git hook
uvx prek run --all-files  # format + lint everything now
