#JAVA MODBUS SERVER SOFTWARE#

Do you have example implementation of client agents? Like Socket or TCP Client.Your protocol implementation can schedule tasks for asynchronous, repeated execution or manage its own sockets. See the Javadoc of both for more details.

Do you call protocol agent fuctions synchronously or asynchronously? If the latter then how many commands do you post before getting responses - Do you enforce any limit? If synchronous call is only supported then building stand-alone service is a must due to ModBus response time in the range of miliseconds.įor a protocol implementation, the SPI is Protocol.java and you would most likely want to extend which helps you with a thread-safe implementation.ORv3 is working and usable now, you can follow the readme/wiki and get it running in docker containers (the images on docker hub are out of date though so will need to build images from source but all explained in docs). There are a few java modbus libs around jmodbus and jamod are the ones I’ve come across (another community member did some work creating a 2.x Modbus protocol a few years ago using jmodbus which can be shared I’m sure).

I don’t know Modbus (still have some hardware sitting on my desk that I’ve been meaning to play with but not had time)…yes you could write a generic Modbus to TCP/IP server/gateway daemon but I have a modbus TCP/IP module here so sounds like re-creating something in software that exists in hardware. the manager) is becoming quite mature though and this is where a protocol implementation would live. ORv3 is the definitely the way to go but the docs and JS APIs for the UI web components is still on the TODO list unfortunately. When do you plan to release beta of ORv3. In the ORv3 repository I found only server-like agents.Ĭan I use 3-rd party web components and in their back-end Java fuctions communicate with OR core functions (read sensors & post commands)? I have couple of questions which if answered would help me to go further.ĭo you call protocol agent fuctions synchronously or asynchronously?

Like Socket or TCP Client. Especially, as I find the idea of web components in ORv3 giving freedom of building user interface quite interesting. I like to write protocol support for ModBus, I thought of writing a stand-alone deamon and integrate it with OR over socket mechanism (could work for both 2.6 and 3), though building a direct protocol service for ORv3 looks also attractive.
