Implementation of the Modbus protocol in pure Python.

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/AdvancedClimateSystems/uModbus.svg https://coveralls.io/repos/AdvancedClimateSystems/uModbus/badge.svg?service=github https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/uModbus.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/uModbus.svg

uModbus

uModbus or (μModbus) is a pure Python implementation of the Modbus protocol as described in the MODBUS Application Protocol Specification V1.1b3. uModbus implements both a Modbus client (both TCP and RTU) and a Modbus server (both TCP and RTU). The “u” or “μ” in the name comes from the the SI prefix “micro-“. uModbus is very small and lightweight. The source can be found on GitHub. Documentation is available at Read the Docs.

Quickstart

Creating a Modbus TCP server is easy:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# scripts/examples/simple_tcp_server.py
import logging
from socketserver import TCPServer
from collections import defaultdict

from umodbus import conf
from umodbus.server.tcp import RequestHandler, get_server
from umodbus.utils import log_to_stream

# Add stream handler to logger 'uModbus'.
log_to_stream(level=logging.DEBUG)

# A very simple data store which maps addresss against their values.
data_store = defaultdict(int)

# Enable values to be signed (default is False).
conf.SIGNED_VALUES = True

TCPServer.allow_reuse_address = True
app = get_server(TCPServer, ('localhost', 502), RequestHandler)


@app.route(slave_ids=[1], function_codes=[3, 4], addresses=list(range(0, 10)))
def read_data_store(slave_id, function_code, address):
    """" Return value of address. """
    return data_store[address]


@app.route(slave_ids=[1], function_codes=[6, 16], addresses=list(range(0, 10)))
def write_data_store(slave_id, function_code, address, value):
    """" Set value for address. """
    data_store[address] = value

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        app.serve_forever()
    finally:
        app.shutdown()
        app.server_close()

Doing a Modbus request requires even less code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# scripts/examples/simple_tcp_client.py
import socket

from umodbus import conf
from umodbus.client import tcp

# Enable values to be signed (default is False).
conf.SIGNED_VALUES = True

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect(('localhost', 502))

# Returns a message or Application Data Unit (ADU) specific for doing
# Modbus TCP/IP.
message = tcp.write_multiple_coils(slave_id=1, starting_address=1, values=[1, 0, 1, 1])

# Response depends on Modbus function code. This particular returns the
# amount of coils written, in this case it is.
response = tcp.send_message(message, sock)

sock.close()

Features

The following functions have been implemented for Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU:

  • 01: Read Coils

  • 02: Read Discrete Inputs

  • 03: Read Holding Registers

  • 04: Read Input Registers

  • 05: Write Single Coil

  • 06: Write Single Register

  • 15: Write Multiple Coils

  • 16: Write Multiple Registers

Other featues:

  • Support for signed and unsigned register values.
