Protocol::Modbus::Transaction - Modbus protocol request/response transaction

NAME

Protocol::Modbus::Transaction - Modbus protocol request/response transaction

SYNOPSIS

  use Protocol::Modbus;

  # Initialize protocol object
  my $proto = Protocol::Modbus->new( driver=>'TCP' );

  # Get a request object
  my $req = $proto->request(
      function => Protocol::Modbus::FUNC_READ_COILS, # or 0x01
      address  => 0x1234,
      quantity => 1,
      unit     => 0x07, # Only has sense for Modbus/TCP
  );

  # Init transaction and execute it, obtaining a response
  my $trn = Protocol::Modbus::Transaction->new( request=>$req );
  my $res = $trn->execute();

  # Pretty-print response on stdout
  print $response . "\n";   # Modbus Response PDU(......)

  # ...
  # Parse response
  # ...

DESCRIPTION

Implements the basic Modbus transaction model, with request / response cycle. Also responsible of raising exceptions (see Protocol::Modbus::Exception class).

METHODS

protocol: Returns the protocol object in use. Should be an instance of Protocol::Modbus or its subclasses.
request: Get/set request object. Should be an instance of Protocol::Modbus::Request class.
response: Get/set response object. Should be an instance of Protocol::Modbus::Response class.
execute: Executes transaction, sending request to proper channel (depending on protocol at this time). Returns a Protocol::Modbus::Response object in case of successful transaction. Returns a Protocol::Modbus::Exception object in case of failure and exception raised.
