to whom it may concern,

I've succesffuly connected one device (indel edison) through modbus rtu over tcp to my kura gateway, but I was wondering does kura's modbus driver support multiple apps (bundles) to use to connect device concurrently? if not, will it support in the future?

Thanks.

Hello,

unfortunately the modbus service only supports one connection at the moment and there is no plan to support multiple connections yet. If you have some time and are interested your contribution is welcome Smile.

Thanks

Hi Ameni,

you can use 2 RPi with *rs485 shield.

I bought it from
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01IB6IDEY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and one runs a kura bundle using kura.protocol.modbus bundle service, and another one Rpi3 just runs as a modbus slave by using libmodbus in C or pymodbus in Python.

actually, I run with a kura on eurotech gateway and a modbus program on RPi3.

thanks.

Hi Ameni,

sorry, for this thread I was using Modbus RTP not Modbus over RS485, so no need to buy RS485 shields, you just run a modbus device using libmodbus or pymodbus (using Modbus RTU over TCP), and write a kura bundle using kura.protocol.modbus as a modbus master to connect the the modbus device. then it is what I did.

Hi vincent,
Thanks for you reply.
What I didn't understand is how to add org.eclipse.kura.protocol.modbus because it does not exist in the default Developer's Workspace .

In some tuto they reference org.eclipse.kura.protocol.modbus from the bundle. I don't know how to do it.

Can y please explain to me this step

Many thanks.
