Modbus TCP and RTU over TCP protocol client

Latest Version Packagist Software License codecov

Installation

Use Composer to install this library as dependency.

composer require aldas/modbus-tcp-client

Supported functions

Utility functions

Requirements

  • PHP 7.0+
  • Release 0.2.0 was last to support PHP 5.6

Intention

This library is influenced by phpmodbus library and meant to be provide decoupled Modbus protocol (request/response packets) and networking related features so you could build modbus client with our own choice of networking code (ext_sockets/streams/Reactphp/Amp asynchronous streams) or use library provided networking classes (php Streams)

Endianness

Applies to multibyte data that are stored in Word/Double/Quad word registers basically everything that is not (u)int16/byte/char.

So if we receive from network 0x12345678 (bytes: ABCD) and want to convert that to a 32 bit register there could be 4 different ways to interpret bytes and word order depending on modbus server architecture and client architecture. NB: TCP, and UDP, are transmitted in big-endian order so we choose this as base for examples

Library supports following byte and word orders:

  • Big endian (ABCD - word1 = 0x1234, word2 = 0x5678)
  • Big endian low word first (CDAB - word1 = 0x5678, word2 = 0x1234) (used by Wago-750)
  • Little endian (DCBA - word1 = 0x3412, word2 = 0x7856)
  • Little endian low word first (BADC - word1 = 0x7856, word2 = 0x3412)

Default (global) endianess used for parsing can be changed with:

Endian::$defaultEndian = Endian::BIG_ENDIAN_LOW_WORD_FIRST;

For non-global cases see API methods argument list if method support using custom endianess.

See Endian.php for additional info and Types.php for supported data types.

Example of Modbus TCP (fc3 - read holding registers)

Some of the Modbus function examples are in examples/ folder

Advanced usage:

Request multiple packets with higher level API:

$address = 'tcp://127.0.0.1:5022';
$unitID = 0; // also known as 'slave ID'
$fc3 = ReadRegistersBuilder::newReadHoldingRegisters($address, $unitID)
    ->bit(256, 15, 'pump2_feedbackalarm_do')
    // will be split into 2 requests as 1 request can return only range of 124 registers max
    ->int16(657, 'battery3_voltage_wo')
    // will be another request as uri is different for subsequent int16 register
    ->useUri('tcp://127.0.0.1:5023')
    ->string(
        669,
        10,
        'username_plc2',
        function ($value, $address, $response) {
            return 'prefix_' . $value; // optional: transform value after extraction
        },
        function (\Exception $exception, Address $address, $response) {
            // optional: callback called then extraction failed with an error
            return $address->getType() === Address::TYPE_STRING ? '' : null; // does not make sense but gives you an idea
        }
    )
    ->build(); // returns array of 3 ReadHoldingRegistersRequest requests

// this will use PHP non-blocking stream io to recieve responses
$responseContainer = (new NonBlockingClient(['readTimeoutSec' => 0.2]))->sendRequests($fc3);
print_r($responseContainer->getData()); // array of assoc. arrays (keyed by address name)
print_r($responseContainer->getErrors());

Response structure

[
    [ 'pump2_feedbackalarm_do' => true, ],
    [ 'battery3_voltage_wo' => 12, ],
    [ 'username_plc2' => 'prefix_admin', ]
]

Low level - send packets:

$connection = BinaryStreamConnection::getBuilder()
    ->setHost('192.168.0.1')
    ->build();
    
$packet = new ReadHoldingRegistersRequest(256, 8); //create FC3 request packet

try {
    $binaryData = $connection->connect()->sendAndReceive($packet);

    //parse binary data to response object
    $response = ResponseFactory::parseResponseOrThrow($binaryData);
    
    //same as 'foreach ($response->getWords() as $word) {'
    foreach ($response as $word) { 
        print_r($word->getInt16());
    }
    // print registers as double words in big endian low word first order (as WAGO-750 does)
    foreach ($response->getDoubleWords() as $dword) {
        print_r($dword->getInt32(Endian::BIG_ENDIAN_LOW_WORD_FIRST));
    }
        
    // set internal index to match start address to simplify array access
    $responseWithStartAddress = $response->withStartAddress(256);
    print_r($responseWithStartAddress[256]->getBytes()); // use array access to get word
    print_r($responseWithStartAddress->getDoubleWordAt(257)->getFloat());
} catch (Exception $exception) {
    echo $exception->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
} finally {
    $connection->close();
}

Example of Modbus RTU over TCP

Difference between Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP is that:

  1. RTU header contains only slave id. TCP/IP header contains of transaction id, protocol id, length, unitid
  2. RTU packed has 2 byte CRC appended

See http://www.simplymodbus.ca/TCP.htm for more detailsed explanation

This library was/is originally meant for Modbus TCP but it has support to convert packet to RTU and from RTU. See this examples/rtu.php for example.

$rtuBinaryPacket = RtuConverter::toRtu(new ReadHoldingRegistersRequest($startAddress, $quantity, $slaveId));
$binaryData = $connection->connect()->sendAndReceive($rtuBinaryPacket);
$responseAsTcpPacket = RtuConverter::fromRtu($binaryData);

Example of Modbus RTU over USB to Serial (RS485) adapter

See Linux example in 'examples/rtu_usb_to_serial.php'

Example of non-blocking socket IO with ReactPHP/Amp (i.e. modbus request are run in 'parallel')

Example Modbus server (accepting requests) with ReactPHP

Try communication with PLCs quickly using php built-in web server

Examples folder has index.php which can be used with php built-in web server to test out communication with our own PLCs.

git clone https://github.com/aldas/modbus-tcp-client.git
cd modbus-tcp-client
composer install
php -S localhost:8080 -t examples/

Now open http://localhost:8080 in browser. See additional query parameters from index.php.
