public final class ReadCoilsRequest

extends ModbusRequest

Class implementing a ReadCoilsRequest. The implementation directly correlates with the class 1 function read coils (FC 1). It encapsulates the corresponding request message.

Coils are understood as bits that can be manipulated (i.e. set or unset).

int	getBitCount() Returns the number of bits (i.e. coils) to be read with this ReadCoilsRequest.
int	getReference() Returns the reference of the register to to start reading from with this ReadCoilsRequest.
void	readData(java.io.DataInput din) Reads the subclass specific data from the given DataInput instance.
void	setBitCount(int count) Sets the number of bits (i.e. coils) to be read with this ReadCoilsRequest.
void	setReference(int ref) Sets the reference of the register to start reading from with this ReadCoilsRequest.
void	writeData(java.io.DataOutput dout) Writes the subclass specific data to the given DataOutput.

ref - the reference number of the register to read from.

count - the number of bits to be read.

Method Detail

createResponse

public ModbusResponse createResponse()

Description copied from class: ModbusRequest

Returns the ModbusResponse that represents the answer to this ModbusRequest.

The implementation should take care about assembling the reply to this ModbusRequest.

Specified by:

createResponse in class ModbusRequest

Returns:

the corresponding ModbusResponse.

setReference

public void setReference(int ref)

Sets the reference of the register to start reading from with this ReadCoilsRequest.

Parameters:

ref - the reference of the register to start reading from.

getReference

public int getReference()

Returns the reference of the register to to start reading from with this ReadCoilsRequest.

Returns:

the reference of the register to start reading from as int.

setBitCount

public void setBitCount(int count)

Sets the number of bits (i.e. coils) to be read with this ReadCoilsRequest.

Parameters:

count - the number of bits to be read.

getBitCount

public int getBitCount()

Returns the number of bits (i.e. coils) to be read with this ReadCoilsRequest.

Returns:

the number of bits to be read.

writeData

public void writeData(java.io.DataOutput dout)
               throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: ModbusMessageImpl

Writes the subclass specific data to the given DataOutput.

Specified by:

writeData in class ModbusMessageImpl

Parameters:

dout - the DataOutput to be written to.
