SetValue() and getValue() methods
-
I'm trying to read and write to a PLC via a gateway using modbus4j. I've gotten the read function to work, but I'm not getting anywhere on the setValue() method. I've tried various variations of this:
IpParameters params = new IpParameters(); params.setHost("192.168.0.100"); params.setPort(502); //create modbus TCP master ModbusMaster master = new ModbusFactory().createTcpMaster(params, false); master.init(); int regValue=0; regValue = regValue | 1 << 0; ModbusLocator loc0 = new ModbusLocator(1,RegisterRange.HOLDING_REGISTER,0,DataType.TWO_BYTE_INT_UNSIGNED); master.setValue(loc0,8);Also the getValue() method only works sporadically maybe 30% of the time I call getValue() I get the response I expect, and the other times I get all 0s out.
System.out.println(master.getValue(33,RegisterRange.HOLDING_REGISTER,70,2));Am I misunderstanding some aspect of the get and set value methods? Thanks.
