New Modbusmq project: Testers needed!

I got it working with the DEBUG flag, but it starts working only after having the serial monitor started.

I made the following network settings:
const byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 2, 254 };
const byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
const byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 2, 100 }; // Arduino has this IP

You have to use the same subnet (192.168.2.x) as your computer uses.

BR,

Can anyone give me an example how to read an input on the Arduino, and map the I/O status to be polled by the Master?

I am not sure how the mapping is handled.

wow great to see MODBUS/TCP functional. this library will certainly come in handy.

How do you turn on the debug flag?

Also, how do I setup registers to read and write, can someone post a simple example?

Does this only work with the "official" ethernet shield. Seems there are some variants out there now and I would like to buy something to test this with as I have lots of industrial Modbus gear at the office.

Thanks!

Can someone show me how to setup say 8 modbus words to be read from a "client" and make those control 8 rc servos?

or just any basic modbus tcp program. I see the library, but i want to get a look at a real example.

thanks..

Hello,

I just have updated from Arduino 0018 to 0021, but the modbusmq is not working anymore. Seems to be a problem with the new ethernet library. Any ideas? Is there needed an update of the modbusmq?

BR,
chris

I am having the same issue.
Works with 018, but can't even ping the IP when using 021.

Sure would be nice to find a fix for this.

I think there is a problem with calling

Client client = server.available();

as a global

so change that line to

Client client = 0;

please tell me if this helps
for me it seams to fix the problem

It works with:

Client client = 0;

But now I have the same problem with the DEBUG flag. It has to be disabled because if it is enables the Arduino hangs.

hgs75 do you get it working with debug flag?

No i also couldn't get it to work with the DEBUG flag set.
but i thought it was because i used it with conjunction with i2c
so i just disabled DEBUG and moved on

Thanks, changing to "Client client = 0; " worked.

On another note: Is anyone using a simple web interface with Modbusmq, to configure IP, Gateway etc...?

Or have a suggestion as to how to get both Server, Client and different ports working together?

this is a beginning of IP changer over Ethernet but i didn't manage to implement it fully in to the Modbus code
(i have managed to get it to work only by a switch at the beginning of the program before the loop)

It works with:

Client client = 0;

hgs75 do you get it working with debug flag?

Yes, it works with the debug flag, but now I am using an arduino FIO and a WIZ812, use this diagram to make the conections:
http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Ethernet.html
The code works fine, I am testing with modscan32, and I still working with the 0018 IDE. :smiley:

I am trying to use this with IDE 21 and Arduino uno. I have integrated it with the remarks earlier posted, but I can not get it to work. Ping does not work.

When I use another ethernet example it seems to work.

What could be wrong. Could someone post his file that works with IDE21.

Thanks

Can you post your code please

Is there a way to add an attachment without using the code insert. The code is rather big as you know Using the code insert would make it unreadable.

I dont think so

Here is the link (To be clear this is not my code all the credits go the maker(s) of it)

http://rapidshare.com/files/428138539/modbusmq.rar

you are not using the latest revision of the modbus code or you are missing a lot of parts from it

try downloading it again and only change to

Client client = 0;
