GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/sourceperl/pyModbusTCP.git
cd pyModbusTCP
sudo python setup.py install

Install the current devel-release:

sudo pip install git+https://github.com/sourceperl/pyModbusTCP.git@devel

Usage example

See examples/ for full scripts.

include (for all samples)

from pyModbusTCP.client import ModbusClient

module init (TCP always open)

# TCP auto connect on first modbus request
c = ModbusClient(host="localhost", port=502, auto_open=True)

module init (TCP open/close for each request)

# TCP auto connect on modbus request, close after it
c = ModbusClient(host="127.0.0.1", auto_open=True, auto_close=True)

module init (with accessor functions)

c = ModbusClient()
c.host("localhost")
c.port(502)
# managing TCP sessions with call to c.open()/c.close()
c.open()

Read 2x 16 bits registers at modbus address 0 :

regs = c.read_holding_registers(0, 2)
if regs:
    print(regs)
else:
    print("read error")

Write value 44 and 55 to registers at modbus address 10 :

if c.write_multiple_registers(10, [44,55]):
    print("write ok")
else:
    print("write error")
