modbus_read_registers - read many registers
Contents
Description
The modbus_read_registers() function shall read the content of the nb holding registers to the address
addr of the remote device. The result of reading is stored in dest array as word values (16 bits).
You must take care to allocate enough memory to store the results in dest (at least nb *
sizeof(uint16_t)).
The function uses the Modbus function code 0x03 (read holding registers).
Errors
EMBMDATA
Too many registers requested
Example
modbus_t *ctx;
uint16_t tab_reg[64];
int rc;
int i;
ctx = modbus_new_tcp("127.0.0.1", 1502);
if (modbus_connect(ctx) == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "Connection failed: %s\n", modbus_strerror(errno));
modbus_free(ctx);
return -1;
}
rc = modbus_read_registers(ctx, 0, 10, tab_reg);
if (rc == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", modbus_strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
for (i=0; i < rc; i++) {
printf("reg[%d]=%d (0x%X)\n", i, tab_reg[i], tab_reg[i]);
}
modbus_close(ctx);
modbus_free(ctx);
