I am using python minimamlmodbus library using this library i want to achieve slave and master communication in which i am going to be slave and the instrument will be master
I have successfully achieve master and slave communication using minimalmodbus in which,master was me and slave was the instrument.
i have used the following code to achieve master and slave communication
ser=minimalmodbus.Instrument(port_to_connect,1,'ascii')
ser.serial.baudrate=baudrate
ser.serial.bytesize=8
ser.serial.parity=serial.PARITY_NONE
ser.serial.stopbits=1
ser.debug=False
ser.serial.timeout=3
#gui()
while self._stopped:
time.sleep(1)
data=ser.read_string(4096,33,3)
print(str(data))
self.finished.emit()
self._stopped=True
I want the instrument to be master and the python interface be slave is it possible.
Minimalmodbus can only be used as a Modbus master, unfortunately. I think that Pymodbus is useful for implementing a Modbus slave. See https://pymodbus.readthedocs.io
