Detailed Description

MODBUS/TCP Master Protocol class.

This class realises the MODBUS/TCP master protocol. It provides functions to establish and to close a TCP/IP connection to the slave as well as data and control functions which can be used after a connection to a slave device has been established successfully. The data and control functions are organized different conformance classes. For a more detailed description of the data and control functions see section Data and Control Functions for all Protocol Flavours.

It is also possible to instantiate multiple instances of this class for establishing multiple connections to either the same or different hosts.

Member Function Documentation

int openProtocol (  const char *const  hostName  )

Connects to a MODBUS/TCP slave. This function establishes a logical network connection between master and slave. After a connection has been established data and control functions can be used. A TCP/IP connection should be closed if it is no longer needed. Note: The default time-out for the connection is 1000 ms. The default TCP port number is 502. Parameters: hostName  String with IP address or host name Returns: FTALK_SUCCESS on success or error code. See Protocol Errors and Exceptions for a list of error codes. Reimplemented in MbusRtuOverTcpMasterProtocol.

int isOpen (   )  [virtual]

Returns whether currently connected or not. Return values: true  = connected false  = not connected Reimplemented from MbusMasterFunctions.

int setPort (  unsigned short  portNo  )

Sets the TCP port number to be used by the protocol. Remarks: Usually the port number remains unchanged and defaults to 502. In this case no call to this function is necessary. However if the port number has to be different from 502 this function must be called before opening the connection with openProtocol(). Parameters: portNo  Port number to be used when opening the connection Return values: FTALK_SUCCESS  Success FTALK_ILLEGAL_STATE_ERROR  Protocol already open Reimplemented in MbusRtuOverTcpMasterProtocol.

unsigned short getPort (   )

Returns the TCP port number used by the protocol. Returns: Port number used by the protocol
