1. Introduction

Agile Modbus is a lightweight modbus protocol stack that meets the needs of users in any scenario.

ModbusProtocol

  • Online documentation: API Manual

  • The examples folder provides examples on PC

  • See examples on MCU mcu_demos

  • Bootloader based on RT-Thread on AT32F437 that supports Modbus firmware upgrade: AT32F437_Boot

  • Bootloader based on RT-Thread on HPM6750 that supports Modbus firmware upgrade: HPM6750_Boot

1.1. Features

  1. Supports rtu and tcp protocols, is developed using pure C, does not involve any hardware interface, and can be used directly on any form of hardware.
  2. Since it is developed using pure C and does not involve hardware, it can run the tcp protocol on the serial port and the rtu protocol on the network.
  3. Support custom protocols compliant with modbus format.
  4. Supports multiple masters and multiple slaves at the same time.
  5. It is easy to use. You only need to initialize the rtu or tcp handle and call the corresponding API to package and unpack.

2.1. Transplantation

  • Users need to implement the send data, wait for data reception to end and clear the receive buffer functions of the hardware interface

    Regarding waiting for data reception to end, the following ideas are provided:

    1. General method

      Every 20 /50 ms (this time can be set according to the baud rate and hardware, here is just a reference value) reads data from the hardware interface and stores it in the buffer and updates the offset until it cannot be read or the buffer is full. , exit reading.

      This applies to both bare metal and operating systems, which can accomplish blocking via select or semaphore.

    2. Serial port DMA + IDLE interrupt mode

      Configure the DMA + IDLE interrupt, enable the flag in the interrupt, and determine whether the flag is set in the application program.

      However, this solution is prone to problems. If the data bytes are slightly staggered, it will not be a frame. The first option is recommended.

  • Host:

    1. agile_modbus_rtu_init / agile_modbus_tcp_init initializes RTU/TCP environment
    2. agile_modbus_set_slave sets the slave address
    3. Clear the receive cache
    4. agile_modbus_serialize_xxx package request data
    5. Send data
    6. Waiting for data reception to end
    7. agile_modbus_deserialize_xxx Parse response data
    8. Data processed by users
  • Slave machine:

    1. Implement the agile_modbus_slave_callback_t type callback function
    2. agile_modbus_rtu_init / agile_modbus_tcp_init initializes RTU/TCP environment
    3. agile_modbus_set_slave sets the slave address
    4. Waiting for data reception to end
    5. agile_modbus_slave_handle processes request data
    6. Clear the receive buffer (optional)
    7. Send data
  • Special function code

    You need to call the agile_modbus_set_compute_meta_length_after_function_cb and agile_modbus_set_compute_data_length_after_meta_cb APIs to set the callbacks for special function codes to be processed in master-slave mode.

    • agile_modbus_set_compute_meta_length_after_function_cb

      msg_type == AGILE_MODBUS_MSG_INDICATION: Returns the data element length of the host request message (uint8_t type). If it is not a special function code, 0 must be returned.

      msg_type == MSG_CONFIRMATION: Returns the data element length (uint8_t type) of the slave response message. If it is not a special function code, 1 must be returned.

    • agile_modbus_set_compute_data_length_after_meta_cb

      msg_type == AGILE_MODBUS_MSG_INDICATION: Returns the data length after the data element of the host request message. If it is not a special function code, 0 must be returned.

      msg_type == MSG_CONFIRMATION: Returns the data length after the data element of the slave response message. If it is not a special function code, it must return 0.

  • agile_modbus_rtu_init / agile_modbus_tcp_init

    When initializing the RTU/TCP environment, the user needs to pass in the send buffer and receive buffer. It is recommended that the size of both buffers is AGILE_MODBUS_MAX_ADU_LENGTH (260) bytes. Special function code is determined by the user according to the agreement.

    But for small memory MCUs, these two buffers can also be set small, and all APIs will judge the buffer size:

    Send buffer setting: If expected request data length or expected response data length is greater than set send buffer size, an exception is returned.

    Receive buffer setting: If the message length requested by the host is greater than the set receive buffer size, an exception will be returned. This is reasonable. When a small memory MCU is used as a slave, certain function codes must be restricted.

2.3.1. Interface description

  • Introduction to agile_modbus_slave_handle

    int agile_modbus_slave_handle(agile_modbus_t *ctx, int msg_length, uint8_t slave_strict,
                                  agile_modbus_slave_callback_t slave_cb, const void *slave_data, int *frame_length)

    msg_length: The length of data received after waiting for the end of data reception.

    slave_strict: slave address strictness check (0: Do not judge whether the address is consistent, it will be processed by user callback; 1: The address must be consistent, otherwise the callback will not be called and the response data will not be packaged).

    slave_cb: agile_modbus_slave_callback_t type callback function, implemented and passed in by the user. If it is NULL, all function codes can respond and are successful, but the register data is still 0.

    slave_data: slave callback function private data.

    frame_length: Get the length of the parsed modbus data frame. The meaning of this parameter is:

    1. There is dirty data at the end: it can still be parsed successfully and tells the user the real modbus frame length, which the user can process.
    2. Data sticky packet: The data consists of a complete frame of modbus data + a partial modbus data frame. After the user obtains the real modbus frame length, he can remove the processed modbus data frame and read the hardware interface data and the current one again. Part of the modbus data frame forms a new frame
    3. This parameter is often used when modbus broadcast transmits big data (such as custom function code broadcast to upgrade firmware). Ordinary slave responses are one question and one answer, and only the complete data frame is processed. It is recommended to Execute clear receive cache

    agile_modbus_slave_info:

    sft: Contains slave address and function code attributes, which can be used in callbacks

    rsp_length: response data length pointer, its value needs to be updated when processing special function code in the callback, otherwise not allowed to change

    address: register address (not used by all function codes)

    nb: number (not used by all function codes)

    buf: data field required by different function codes (not used by all function codes)

    send_index: the current index of the send buffer (not used by all function codes)

  • agile_modbus_slave_info used by different function codes

    • AGILE_MODBUS_FC_READ_COILS、AGILE_MODBUS_FC_READ_DISCRETE_INPUTS

      The address, nb, and send_index attributes need to be used, and the agile_modbus_slave_io_set API needs to be called to store the IO data in the data area starting from ctx->send_buf + send_index.

    • AGILE_MODBUS_FC_READ_HOLDING_REGISTERS、AGILE_MODBUS_FC_READ_INPUT_REGISTERS

      The address, nb, and send_index attributes need to be used, and the agile_modbus_slave_register_set API needs to be called to store the register data in the data area starting from ctx->send_buf + send_index.

    • AGILE_MODBUS_FC_WRITE_SINGLE_COIL、AGILE_MODBUS_FC_WRITE_SINGLE_REGISTER

      You need to use the address and buf attributes, force buf to the int * type, and get the value and store it in a register.

    • AGILE_MODBUS_FC_WRITE_MULTIPLE_COILS

      The address, nb, buf attributes need to be used, and the agile_modbus_slave_io_get API needs to be called to obtain the IO data to be written.

    • AGILE_MODBUS_FC_WRITE_MULTIPLE_REGISTERS

      The address, nb, and buf attributes need to be used, and the agile_modbus_slave_register_get API needs to be called to obtain the register data to be written.

    • AGILE_MODBUS_FC_MASK_WRITE_REGISTER

      You need to use the address and buf attributes, pass (buf[0] << 8) + buf[1] to get the and value, pass (buf[2] << 8) + buf[3 ] Gets the or value. Get the register value data, perform the data = (data & and) | (or & (~and)) operation to update the data value, and write it to the register.

    • AGILE_MODBUS_FC_WRITE_AND_READ_REGISTERS

      You need to use the address, buf, send_index attributes, pass (buf[0] << 8) + buf[1] to get the number of registers to be read, pass (buf[2] << 8) + buf[3] Get the register address to be written, and use (buf[4] << 8) + buf[5] to get the number of registers to be written. You need to call the agile_modbus_slave_register_get API to obtain the register data to be written, and call the agile_modbus_slave_register_set API to store the register data in the data area starting from ctx->send_buf + send_index.

    • Custom function code

      You need to use the send_index, nb, and buf attributes, and the user processes the data in the callback.

      send_index: current index of send buffer

      nb: PUD - 1, which is the modbus data field length

      buf: starting position of modbus data field

      Note: After the user fills data into the send buffer in the callback, the rsp_length value of agile_modbus_slave_info needs to be updated.

2.3.2. Simple slave access interface

Agile Modbus provides an implementation of agile_modbus_slave_callback_t, allowing users to access it simply and conveniently.

See examples/slave for examples of usage.

How to use:

#include "agile_modbus.h"

  • Introduction to agile_modbus_slave_util_callback

    • An implementation of agile_modbus_slave_callback_t provided by Agile Modbus, which requires agile_modbus_slave_util_t type variable pointer as private data.

    • The private data is NULL, all function codes can respond and are successful, but the register data is still 0.

  • Introduction to agile_modbus_slave_util_t

    typedef struct agile_modbus_slave_util {
        const agile_modbus_slave_util_map_t *tab_bits;                                            /**< Coil register definition array */

    } agile_modbus_slave_util_t;
    • Register related

      Users need to implement the definitions of bits, input_bits, registers and input_registers. If a register is defined as NULL, the function code corresponding to the register can respond and is successful, but the register data is all 0.

    • Interface calling process

  • Introduction to agile_modbus_slave_util_map

    typedef struct agile_modbus_slave_util_map {
        int start_addr;                                       /**< starting address */
        int end_addr;                                         /**< end address */
        int (*get)(void *buf, int bufsz);                     /**< Get register data interface */
        int (*set)(int index, int len, void *buf, int bufsz); /**< Set register data interface */
    } agile_modbus_slave_util_map_t;
    • Precautions:

      • The number of registers determined by the start address and end address is limited. Changing the size of the map_buf array inside the function can make it larger.

        • bit register < 250

        • register register < 125

      • The interface function is NULL, and the function code corresponding to the register can respond and is successful.

    • get interface

      Copy all data in the address field to buf.

    • set interface

      • index: offset within the address field

      • len: length

      Modify data based on index and len.
