Thanks for sharing but can you please provide more information about what does this lib do?

Thanks for sharing @alan1968 (1968 is a well known year)!
May we have more information about the return value of the read functions?

Hello Alan,
Thank you for sharing this. I have not had a chance to use this yet as I only came across this today. Can this lib also handle the RTU protocol?
Regards, John.

Hello Alan,

Many thanks for the reply. All it's ok for me now.
Just at last two questions, when you write :
B4X:
.TCP_ReadMultipleRegisters(ref As Int, cont As Int)
.TCP_ReadCoils(ref as Int, cont as Int)
.TCP_ReadInputDiscretes(ref as Int, cont as Int)
What are the limit for ref?
The data are sent and received in a string... could it be possible to have alternate functions with data passed by array?

Regards,
Mo

hi!
no this lib work only in modbus tcp,but i see for add rtu protocol

Hi Mo!
Ref (start address) :depends on plc

Hi alan

I put ReadMultipleRegisters in timer1(Every 30 second call one time).
Why, I must call connect again when i called ReadMultipleRegisters every time ?

B4X:
Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    Log(plc.Set_plc(plcip,1,502,2000)) 'wago
    plc.Connect  
    StartMessageLoop
End Sub

Sub ControlPLC
    If plc.isConnect=True Then
        ReadMultipleRegisters(0,32) 'adress 12288 =%MW0 wago read 100 Words
    Else
        plc.Disconnect
        plc.Connect
    End If
End Sub

Sub timer1_tick
    timer1.Enabled=False
  
    If plcTick>=3 Then
        ControlPLC
        plcTick=0
    End If
  
  
    tick = tick + 1
    If tick >= 10 Then
        plcTick=plcTick+1 '每秒+1
        tick=0
        Log("tick")
    End If
    timer1.Enabled=True
End Sub

Hello Alan,
Thanks for your Modbus driver. I know the protocol, but I save now the whole programming thanks to your contribution. If you or someone else is interested in the protocol for an S7-Communication (RFC1006), let me know. Here it is in German
Language perfectly documented.
I do not know if I can share the link here? Sorry! Anywhere can find this in the www
http://www.bj-ig.de/service/verfuegbare-dokumentationen/s7-kommunikation/index.html
Plaese accept the Work of this Guys....
Great this Docu, I testet it and it's work...
If any body use it... Please look at the ConnectionRequest at Byte(18) (Byte Count beginns with Zero!) witch your CPU !Rack&Slot!. I,am using at via an Siemens CP 343-1
Best regards,
Rainer
P.S. Have you any Docu's about your Lib?

hello and i appreciate for all
i'm beginner in programming pls let me know how can i connect PLC ( for example s7-1200 via profinet protocol or another protocol)and android together?
if it be possible guide me just for connection and functions for connection in plc and android step by step and i no need to kind help for something else in programming( just connecting in plc and android)
THX alot

Hello Alan,
I tested your modbus library for B4A and it works in debug but on the phone the app crash...
I verified that it crashes just when it executes this instruction: Set_plc("192.168.1.190",255,502,2000)
Someone have any experiences to share ? Thanks

is there any news about your library?
what is Reconnect for, how to use it correctly?
why is the connection interrupted after ReadMultipleRegisters?

thx.
