Constructor Detail

ModbusSerialMaster

public ModbusSerialMaster(SerialParameters param)
Constructs a new master facade instance for communication with a given slave.

Parameters:
param - SerialParameters specifies the serial port parameters to use to communicate with the slave device network.
Method Detail

setUnitIdentifier

public void setUnitIdentifier(int unitid)
Sets the unit identifier of this ModbusSerialMaster.

Parameters:
unitid - the unit identifier.

getUnitIdentifier

public int getUnitIdentifier()
Returns the unit identifier of this ModbusSerialMaster.

Returns:
the unit identifier.

connect

public void connect()
             throws java.lang.Exception
Connects this ModbusSerialMaster with the slave.

Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if the connection cannot be established.

disconnect

public void disconnect()
Disconnects this ModbusSerialMaster from the slave.


readCoils

public BitVector readCoils(int unitid,
                           int ref,
                           int count)
                    throws ModbusException
Reads a given number of coil states from the slave.

Note that the number of bits in the bit vector will be forced to the number originally requested.

Parameters:
unitid - (IN) the slave unit id.
ref - the offset of the coil to start reading from.
count - the number of coil states to be read.
Returns:
a BitVector instance holding the received coil states.
Throws:
ModbusException - if an I/O error, a slave exception or a transaction error occurs.

writeCoil

public boolean writeCoil(int unitid,
                         int ref,
                         boolean state)
                  throws ModbusException
Writes a coil state to the slave.

Parameters:
unitid - the slave unit id.
ref - the offset of the coil to be written.
state - the coil state to be written.
Returns:
the state of the coil as returned from the slave.
Throws:
ModbusException - if an I/O error, a slave exception or a transaction error occurs.

writeMultipleCoils

public void writeMultipleCoils(int unitid,
                               int ref,
                               BitVector coils)
                        throws ModbusException
Writes a given number of coil states to the slave.

Note that the number of coils to be written is given implicitly, through BitVector.size().

Parameters:
unitid - the slave unit id.
ref - the offset of the coil to start writing to.
coils - a BitVector which holds the coil states to be written.
Throws:
ModbusException - if an I/O error, a slave exception or a transaction error occurs.

readInputDiscretes

public BitVector readInputDiscretes(int unitid,
                                    int ref,
                                    int count)
                             throws ModbusException
Reads a given number of input discrete states from the slave.

Note that the number of bits in the bit vector will be forced to the number originally requested.

Parameters:
unitid - the slave unit id.
ref - the offset of the input discrete to start reading from.
count - the number of input discrete states to be read.
Returns:
a BitVector instance holding the received input discrete states.
Throws:
