About mbusd
===========
**mbusd** is open-source [Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU (RS-232/485)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modbus) gateway.
Features:
---------
* Small footprint - suitable to run on embedded devices and SBCs like Raspberry Pi
* Multi-master - multiple TCP masters can access slave devices in RTU network using same gateway
* Robustness - can retry requests with mismatched response CRC
* Flexible RTU modes - speed/parity/stop-bits/timeouts can be configured for RTU network
* Support for both of automatic and manual (using RTS bit) direction control types for RS-485 transceivers
Supported function codes:
-------------------------
* 01: Read coil status
* 02: Read input status
* 03: Read holding registers
* 04: Read input registers
* 05: Force single coil
* 06: Preset single register
* 07: Read exception status
* 15: Force multiple coils
* 16: Preset multiple registers
Please note all other function codes (including vendor-specific extensions) are supported on a "best-effort" basis and most likely will fail.
Configuring and compilation:
----------------------------
<pre>
$ git clone https://github.com/3cky/mbusd.git mbusd.git
$ cd mbusd.git
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install
$ make clean
</pre>
Usage:
------
mbusd [-h] [-d] [-t] [-v level] [-L logfile] [-p device] [-s speed] [-m mode] \
[-P port] [-C maxconn] [-N retries] [-R pause] [-W wait] [-T timeout]
-h Usage help.
-d Instruct mbusd not to fork itself (non-daemonize).
-t Enable RTS RS-485 data direction control (if not disabled while compile).
-v level
Specifies log verbosity level (0 for errors only, 1 for warnings
and 2 for also information messages.) If mbusd was compiled in debug mode,
valid log levels are up to 9, where log levels above 2 forces
logging of information about additional internal events.
-L logfile
Specifies log file name ('-' for logging to STDOUT only, default is /var/log/mbusd.log).
-p device
Specifies serial port device name.
-s speed
Specifies serial port speed.
-m mode
Specifies serial port mode (like 8N1).
-P port
Specifies TCP port number (default 502).
-C maxconn
Specifies maximum number of simultaneous TCP connections.
-N retries
Specifies maximum number of request retries (0 disables retries).
-R pause
Specifies pause between requests in milliseconds.
-W wait
Specifies response wait time in milliseconds.
-T timeout
Specifies connection timeout value in seconds (0 disables timeout).
Please note running **mbusd** on default Modbus TCP port (502) requires root privileges!
Reporting bugs:
---------------
Please file [issue](https://github.com/3cky/mbusd/issues) with attached debug log in verbose (`-v9`) mode, i.e.:
# mbusd -L/tmp/mbusd.log -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 -P 502 -d -v9
Unless you were prompted so or there is another pertinent reason (e.g. GitHub fails to accept the bug report), please do not send bug reports via personal email.
