Serial communication problem - Modbus ASCII

Solved!
Go to solution

Hey,

I try to communicate with a temperature control via VISA. I have problems to understand the received message. The answer to my input string (:070310000001) was :0783096D. I thought 83 stands for the "Function Code" and 09 for the "Exception Code", but I can not find what exactly is the meaning of this.

The process value should normally be something about 21°C (room temperature).

 

Thanks for help!

There are modbus libraries available to use so that you don't have to code your own.

Also this one, which is newer.

Thanks for your fast answer!

I want to use the VISA ressources in Labview. Is it possible to combine them?

Yes.  Those Modbus libraries use the VISA resources.

I tried the example: MB_Master Simple Serial. I made all approaches, but there still comes a error message: 1073807339.

Shouldn´t it work with this example?

 

I am a total beginner with Labview and Modbus, so I am happy about every help!

-1073807339 is a timeout error.  Perhaps your instrument is not setup to talk over the serial bus?

The instrument communicated via a different program with me, so in my opinion there should be no problem.

I have the correct VISA Ressource and Slave ID. Where else can be the problem?

Don't know.  Post some code so we can see what you did.

 

Perhaps your serial settings are wrong.  Maybe your slave address is wrong even though you think it is correct.

Going back to my starting problem with the modbus code:

I think it is a Modbus exception code with 09. In all the lists of exceptions codes (e.g.: http://www.simplymodbus.ca/exceptions.htm), there is always 01 till 08 and then 0A (10), but no 09.

Can someone explain this to me?
