Hello, I have to calculate the CRC16 of a MODBUS string. Unfortunately I have no idea how can I do that. I have found a code for Visual Basic, how I can convert it for Basic4Android?

B4X:
Public Function CRC(buf() As Byte, lbuf As Integer) As Integer
'-------------------------------------------------

' returns the MODBUS CRC of the lbuf first bytes of "buf" buffer (buf is a global array of bytes)
Dim CRC1 As Integer

CRC1 = &HFFFF ' init CRC
For i = 0 To lbuf - 1 Step 1 ' for each byte
CRC1 = CRC1 Xor buf(i)
For j = 0 To 7 Step 1 ' for each bit
k = CRC1 And 1 ' memo bit 0 state
CRC1 = ((CRC1 And &HFFFE) / 2) And H7FFF ' Shift right with 0 at left
If k > 0 Then CRC1 = CRC1 Xor &HA001 ' Bocuse
Next j
Next i
CRC = CRC1
End Function

And, there is an another solution for the calculation of the CRC16 modbus?

Thanks a lot!!!

And here is the algorithm in C, I think that is better....but I need to covert it to basic4android

B4X:
WORD CRC16 (const BYTE *nData, WORD wLength)
{
static const WORD wCRCTable[] = {

For example, with that string:

11 01 00 03 00 0C

The CRC must be

CE9F (CE High, 9F Low)

And for that string:

11 01 02 CD 0B

The CRC must be:

6D 68


This is the table (Click on it to view the full example):

Try this code:
B4X:
Sub CRC(buf() As Byte, lbuf As Int) As Int
   Dim CRC1 As Int
   CRC1 = 0xffff
   For i = 0 To lbuf - 1
     CRC1 = Bit.Xor(CRC1, buf(i))
     For j = 0 To 7
       Dim k As Int = Bit.AND(crc1, 1)
       CRC1 = Bit.AND(Bit.AND(CRC1, 0xfffe) / 2, 0xf777)
       If k > 0 Then CRC1 = Bit.Xor(CRC1, 0xa001)
     Next
   Next
   Return CRC1
End Sub

Thanks for the reply! But how I can implement that sub function in a program?

I have an edittext1 for write the string, a edittext2 for the CRC result and a button.

B4X:
Function CRC(DialString As String)
Dim G As Long, A As Long, AUX As Long
Dim ALow As Long, AHigh As Long, AL As Long, Carry As Integer
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, cA As Long, cHex As String
'
A = 65535
G = 40961
i = 0
Do While i < Len(DialString$)
j = 0
ALow = Int(A / 256)
ALow = ALow * 256
ALow = A - ALow
AHigh = Int(A / 256) * 256
cA = Asc(Mid$(DialString, i + 1, 1))
AL = Int(cA Xor ALow)
AUX = Int(AHigh + AL)
A = AUX
Do While j < 8
j = j + 1
AUX = A
A = Int(A / 2)
Carry = AUX Mod 2
If Carry = 1 Then
A = Int(G Xor A)
End If
Loop
i = i + 1
Loop
ALow = A - Int(A / 256) * 256
AHigh = Int(A / 256)
CRC = Chr(ALow) + Chr(AHigh)
End Function

How can I convert that code from VB to B4A ?

Try so (i'm not sure!!!)
B4X:
Sub CRC(DialString As String) As String
    Dim Res As String

    Dim G As Long, A As Long, AUX As Long
    Dim ALow As Long, AHigh As Long, AL As Long
    Dim Carry As Int
    Dim i, J As Int
    Dim cA As Long

    A = 65535
    G = 40961
    i = 0
    Do While i < DialString.Length
        J = 0
        ALow = A / 256
        ALow = ALow * 256
        ALow = A - ALow
        AHigh = (A / 256) * 256
        'cA =  Asc(Mid$(DialString, i + 1, 1))
        cA = DialString.SubString2(i, i + 1)
        AL = Bit.Xor(cA, ALow)
        AUX = AHigh + AL
        A = AUX
        Do While J < 8
            J = J + 1
            AUX = A
            A = A / 2
            Carry = AUX Mod 2
            If Carry = 1 Then
                A = Bit.Xor(G, A)
            End If
        Loop
        i = i + 1
    Loop
    ALow = A - (A / 256) * 256
    AHigh = A / 256
    Res = Chr(ALow) & Chr(AHigh)
   
    Return Res
End Sub

i have new sun function for CRC16 in B4A , i test it and it work great .
hope you try it and send me feedback .

B4X:
Sub CRC(buf() As Byte, lbuf As Short) As Short
   Dim CRC1 As Short
   CRC1 = 0xffff
   For i = 0 To lbuf - 1
    CRC1 = Bit.Xor(CRC1,Bit.And( buf(i),0xff))
     For j = 0 To 7
     If Bit.And(CRC1, 1) > 0 Then
         CRC1 =Bit.And( Bit.ShiftRight(CRC1,1),0x7fff)
        CRC1=Bit.Xor(CRC1, 0xa001)
        Else
         CRC1 =Bit.And( Bit.ShiftRight(CRC1,1),0x7fff)
    End If
    Next    'j
Next        'i
Return CRC1
End Sub

Mr. taktrashe,

I really thank you, your code was very helpful.

When I used COM Port Monitor, I wondered why extra bytes are sent !! But soon later, I discovered that it was the PLC responding :)

It was a very nice moment.

also I tried this code it is is work too..you can send hex number in string and return value hex sting

my modbus data : 010107DE000A ----> crc DD43 ( expand modbus why different I dont know) but I want to this resuld..)

http://www.simplymodbus.ca/ try demo version..for check

B4X:
Sub Modbus_CRC(strInput As String) As String
    Dim RetCRC As String
    Dim RetStr As String

    Dim CRCREG As Int
    Dim MVAL As Int

    Dim R As Short
    Dim I As Short
    Dim A As Int
    Dim B As Int

    CRCREG = 0xFFFF

    For R = 0 To strInput.Length - 1 Step 2
        RetStr = strInput.SubString2(R, R + 2)
        MVAL = Bit.ParseInt(RetStr, 16)
    
        CRCREG = Bit.Xor(CRCREG, MVAL)
        CRCREG = Bit.And(CRCREG, 0xFFFF)

        For I = 1 To 8 Step 1
            If Bit.And(CRCREG, 0x01) = 1 Then
                CRCREG = Bit.Xor(Bit.UnsignedShiftRight(CRCREG, 1), 0xA001)
                CRCREG = Bit.And(CRCREG, 0xFFFF)
            Else
                CRCREG = Bit.UnsignedShiftRight(CRCREG, 1)
                CRCREG = Bit.And(CRCREG, 0xFFFF)
            End If
        Next
    Next

    A = Bit.And(CRCREG, 0xFF)
    B = Bit.And(CRCREG, 0xFF00)
    A = A * 256
    B = B / 256

    If (A + B) < 16 Then
        RetCRC = "000" & (A + B)
    Else If (A + B) < 256 Then
        RetCRC = "00" & Bit.ToHexString(A + B)
    Else If (A + B) < 4096 Then
        RetCRC = "0" & Bit.ToHexString(A + B)
    Else
        RetCRC = Bit.ToHexString(A + B)
    End If

    Return RetCRC.ToUpperCase
End Sub
