Detailed Description¶

The class provides access to the raw Modbus protocol packets as defined by the Modbus Application Protocol Specification 1.1b.

class ExceptionCode¶

This enum describes all the possible error conditions as defined by Modbus Exception Codes. They are set by the server after checking the appropriate error conditions in the reply to a request and must be decoded by the client to operate on the exception code.

Constant

Description

QModbusPdu.IllegalFunction

Function code is not supported by device.

QModbusPdu.IllegalDataAddress

The received data address in the query is not an allowable address for the Modbus server.

QModbusPdu.IllegalDataValue

The contained value in the request data field is not an allowable value for the Modbus server.

QModbusPdu.ServerDeviceFailure

An irrecoverable error occurred while the server was attempting to perform the requested action.

QModbusPdu.Acknowledge

Specialized use in conjunction with programming commands.

QModbusPdu.ServerDeviceBusy

The server is engaged in processing a long duration program command.

QModbusPdu.NegativeAcknowledge

The server cannot perform the program function received in the query. This code is returned for an unsuccessful programming request. The client should request diagnostic or error information from the server.

QModbusPdu.MemoryParityError

Indicates that the extended file area failed to pass a consistency check. Used in conjunction with function codes 20 and 21. The exception code does not refer to any parity settings of the transmission line but only to the servers’ internal memory of file records.

QModbusPdu.GatewayPathUnavailable

Indicates that the gateway was unable to allocate an internal communication path from the input port to the output port for processing the request.

QModbusPdu.GatewayTargetDeviceFailedToRespond

Indicates that no response was obtained from the target device behind a gateway. Usually this means the target device is not online on the network.

QModbusPdu.ExtendedException

This is an extended exception as per Modbus specification. Generally this code is used to describe an exception that is otherwise further described.

QModbusPdu.MaskWriteRegister

Requests to modify the contents of a specified holding register using a combination of an AND or OR mask, and the register’s current contents.

__init__()¶

Constructs an invalid QModbusPdu .

__init__(arg__1)

Parameters:: arg__1 – QModbusPdu

Constructs a QModbusPdu that is a copy of other.

__init__(code, newData)

Parameters:

code – FunctionCode
newData – QByteArray

Constructs a QModbusPdu with function code set to code and payload set to data. The data is expected to be stored in big-endian byte order already.

data()¶

Return type:: QByteArray

Returns the PDU’s payload, excluding the function code. The payload is stored in big-endian byte order.

See also

setData()

dataSize()¶

Return type:: int

Returns the PDU’s data size, excluding the function code.

exceptionCode()¶

Return type:: ExceptionCode

Returns the response’s exception code.

functionCode()¶

Return type:: FunctionCode

Returns the PDU’s function code.

See also

setFunctionCode()

isException()¶

Return type:: bool

Returns true if the PDU contains an exception code; otherwise false.

isValid()¶

Return type:: bool

Returns true if the PDU is valid; otherwise false.

A PDU is considered valid if the message code is in the range of 1 to 255 decimal and the PDU’s compound size (function code + data) does not exceed 253 bytes. A default constructed PDU is invalid.

setData(newData)¶

Parameters:: newData – QByteArray

Sets the PDU’s function payload to data. The data is expected to be stored in big-endian byte order already.

data()

setFunctionCode(code)¶

Parameters:: code – FunctionCode

Sets the PDU’s function code to code.

functionCode()

size()¶

Return type:: int

Returns the PDU’s full size, including function code and data size.
