I am very new to Modbus and PyModBus however I have spent a good amount of time trying to read up and experiment with it. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it...
I have a drive with distance, velocity, acceleration, and deceleration on registers 40001, 40003, 40005, and 40007 (respectively). I was initially able to write to the distance register, using client.write_register(0000, n). After trying to write to velocity the drive started going haywire and faulting, and spinning 10x as fast as it should've been. However, the real priority is reading registers. I am trying to read the data from these registers and having zero luck. I tried using
request = client.read_holding_registers(0000,4)
response = client.execute(request)
print response
However, all I get back is "ReadRegisterResponse (0)".
So again, my big priority is trying to read values from these registers...any advice? (This is over TCP by the way)
Try to:
response = client.read_holding_registers(0x00,4,unit=1)
where the unit value is device id of the slave.
To print all:
print response.registers
Also is possible to directly get one value (for example third register):
print response.getRegister(2)
or
print response.registers[2]
you could parse the response by yourself, the following is my code snippet:
result = client.read_input_registers(0x01,1, unit=0x01)
#print result
t = result.registers[0]
print "current temperature:", t, " ", float(t/100.0)
