A simple an easy to use Modbus TCP client/server implementation.
Modbus
Modbus is a simple Modbus TCP Client with a simple API.
Installation
Just type npm install jsmodbus and you are ready to go.
Testing
The test files are implemented using mocha and sinon.
Simply npm install -g mocha and npm install -g sinon. To run the tests type from the projects root folder mocha test/*.
Please feel free to fork and add your own tests.
TCP Client example
var modbus = require('jsmodbus');
// create a modbus client
var client = modbus.client.tcp.complete({
'host' : host,
'port' : port,
'autoReconnect' : true,
'reconnectTimeout' : 1000,
'timeout' : 5000,
'unitId' : 0
});
client.connect();
// reconnect with client.reconnect()
client.on('connect', function () {
// make some calls
client.readCoils(0, 13).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 1, byteCount: 20, coils: [ values 0 - 13 ], payload: <Buffer> }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.readDiscreteInputs(0, 13).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 2, byteCount: 20, coils: [ values 0 - 13 ], payload: <Buffer> }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.readHoldingRegisters(0, 10).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 3, byteCount: 20, register: [ values 0 - 10 ], payload: <Buffer> }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.readInputRegisters(0, 10).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 4, byteCount: 20, register: [ values 0 - 10 ], payload: <Buffer> }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.writeSingleCoil(5, true).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 5, byteCount: 4, outputAddress: 5, outputValue: true }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.writeSingleCoil(5, new Buffer(0x01)).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 5, byteCount: 4, outputAddress: 5, outputValue: true }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.writeSingleRegister(13, 42).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 6, byteCount: 4, registerAddress: 13, registerValue: 42 }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.writeSingleRegister(13, new Buffer([0x00 0x2A])).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 6, byteCount: 4, registerAddress: 13, registerValue: 42 }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.writeMultipleCoils(3, [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1]).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 15, startAddress: 3, quantity: 6 }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.writeMultipleCoils(3, new Buffer([0x2B]), 6).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc: 15, startAddress: 3, quantity: 6 }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.writeMultipleRegisters(4, [1, 2, 3, 4]).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc : 16, startAddress: 4, quantity: 4 }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
client.writeMultipleRegisters(4, new Buffer([0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x02, 0x00, 0x03, 0x00, 0x04]).then(function (resp) {
// resp will look like { fc : 16, startAddress: 4, quantity: 4 }
console.log(resp);
}).fail(console.log);
});
client.on('error', function (err) {
console.log(err);
})
Server example
var stampit = require('stampit'),
modbus = require('jsmodbus');
var customServer = stampit()
.refs({
'logEnabled' : true,
'port' : 8888,
'responseDelay' : 10, // so we do not fry anything when someone is polling this server
// specify coils, holding and input register here as buffer or leave it for them to be new Buffer(1024)
coils : new Buffer(1024),
holding : new Buffer(1024),
input : new Buffer(1024)
})
.compose(modbus.server.tcp.complete)
.init(function () {
var init = function () {
// get the coils with this.getCoils() [ Buffer(1024) ]
// get the holding register with this.getHolding() [ Buffer(1024) ]
// get the input register with this.getInput() [ Buffer(1024) ]
// listen to requests
this.on('readCoilsRequest', function (start, quantity) {
// do something, this will be executed in sync before the
// read coils request is executed
});
// the write request have pre and post listener
this.on('[pre][post]WriteSingleCoilRequest', function (address, value) {
});
}.bind(this);
init();
});
customServer();
// you can of course always use a standard server like so
var server = modbus.server.tcp.complete({ port : 8888 });
// and interact with the register via the getCoils(), getHolding() and getInput() calls
server.getHolding().writeUInt16BE(123, 1);
