ESP32 MODBus Communication Failing
Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2024 11:37 pm
Hi, I am using an ESP32 c6 that I am programming with a modified version of the sample Espressif Code to send read/write requests over MODBus. This is a link to the framework of the code I am using - https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... /mb_master
I am using my ESP32 as a master that communicates to other devices that include SunGold/Mean Well solar inverters and a MeanWell DRS - https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/DRS-240,480.pdf.
With all of these devices I am able to successfuy program the ESP32 to be a master that sends an individual read/write with one parameter such as:.
However, as soon as I program the ESP32 to read/write multiple parameters, such as:
I get 107 or 102 errors back that look the following text (DRS returns error code 102 that is pasted below, solar inverters by SunGold returns 107s in a similar format). The first parameter is always read, but the second parameter always fails:
This is the entire code I program the ESP32 with:

- };
