modbus unexpected behaviour

[sabbay]

Hello,
I`m experimenting with modbus right now. I have 2 ESP32 setup connected as shown https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... bus_master here. I`ve flashed example slave for one, example master for second (modified so it only sends requests to slave 1).

Now I get READ events very rarely. So I thought i`d dump the data read from UART like that

Code: Select all

...
        if(p_uart_obj[uart_num]->rx_cur_remain > length) {
            len_tmp = length;
        } else {
            len_tmp = p_uart_obj[uart_num]->rx_cur_remain;
        }
        memcpy(buf + copy_len, p_uart_obj[uart_num]->rx_ptr, len_tmp);
        for(int i = 0; i < len_tmp; i++){
          printf("%02x", buf[i]);
        }
        printf("\n");
        UART_ENTER_CRITICAL(&uart_spinlock[uart_num]);
        p_uart_obj[uart_num]->rx_buffered_len -= len_tmp;
        uart_pattern_queue_update(uart_num, len_tmp);
...

Now i noticed something weird. Requests seems to be the very similar, yet modbus doesn`t recognize them.
Is it a bug, or this can be hardware related?

Hi sabbay,

Most probably your issue is hardware related (it is typical for RS485 driver connection issue). The Modbus stack can not recognize the packet because it contains first zero byte [00010300000002c40b]. The correct request is: [010300000002c40b] and Modbus can correctly recognize it. Please try to check your connection using example: esp-idf/examples/peripherals/uart/uart_echo_rs485/ first for slave and master board then connect them to each other for Modbus.
