Re: Ethernet/IP Slave

Can the Ethernet/IP slave be used to communicate with an Allen Bradley Controllogix system as an Ethernet/IP master? This may seem like a silly question, but to my knowledge, there are subsets of the Ethernet/IP industrial protocol. I'm not certain that just because two devices support Ethernet/IP, ...

Re: piBridge Protocol

Thanks Volker,
Is the RevPi Connect reverse compatible with RevPi core modules? Is there a blog post or other information I can read on the RevPi Connect?

piBridge Protocol

Is there any documentation on the RS485 data exchange protocol? We are creating a custom module and are considering various ways to send data to the RevPi. We would like to use the piBridge if possible, but a serial over USB connection is seeming like the simplest solution. We are utilizing the RevP...

Re: Modbus

Thanks Volker! The OPC server we're using allows us to configure byte order, so no problems =). I was able to get the float decoded into a tag on the OPC server easily enough. I'm working on a custom RAP file now.

Re: Modbus

Thanks, I figured it out. To any user who may be interested, you just use revpimodio2.RevPiModIO(n) where n is the position of the Modbus TCP virtual device. In fact, you are not limited to words as the PiCtory app shows. Below is a functional example of how to write a float to an output that can be...

Modbus

Hello,

I was directed here by Volker. I need to know if the RevPiModIO python module supports reading and writing to virtual modbus registers?

Thanks!

Re: Modbus

Thanks Volker! Certainly seems simple enough... I'll stop by Sven's forum.

Re: Modbus

I see. Bit order in the processing image is little endian, but protocol will communicate it big endian. So to store a 32 bit float, I will need to write some code for handling it as 2 16 bit registers. That's not too difficult. Thank you for answering my questions. Sorry about the initial double-pos...

Modbus Slave

I am considering purchasing a RevPi Core 3 for an automation project. For my project, I need the Pi to perform some basic IO, but also store floats in a tag for an OPC-UA server. After doing some research, it appears this is possible with Pictory Modbus Slave, but the examples do not make it clear i...
