Modbus with temperature/humidity/gas sensor .

[Nestor973]

Hi,

i have to say i’m pretty new to the modbus protocol. I Have a Controllino Maxi that should communicatie with this sensor :

https://www.goveco.com/en/products/sensing/368809/odvcm-multifunctional-sensor

According to the LED’s on the sensor, it should be powered OK. I did supply it with 24vDC+ and i split the ground to the main ground and the ground of the RS485 port (not sure if that is ok, but i think so?)

Anyhow, i tried the ModbusMaster demo in the arduino IDE and it gives me nothing. The device slave address is 1 as stated in the PDF.

I think the demo code should at least be able to read something from the sensor?

Thanks in advance for any input on this.

#include <Controllino.h>
#include “ModbusRtu.h”
#define MasterModbusAdd 0
#define SlaveModbusAdd 1
#define RS485Serial 3

String result;
uint16_t au16data[16];
uint8_t u8state;

Modbus master(SlaveModbusAdd, RS485Serial, 0);

modbus_t telegram;

unsigned long u32wait;

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial){}
Serial.println(“Connecting to Serial3 “);
master.begin(19200);
master.setTimeOut(5000); // if there is no answer in 5000 ms, roll over
u32wait = millis() + 2000;
u8state = 0;
telegram.u8id = 1; // slave address
telegram.u8fct = 4; // function code (this one is registers read)
telegram.u16RegAdd = 1; // start address in slave
telegram.u16CoilsNo = 1; // number of elements (coils or registers) to read
telegram.au16reg = au16data; // pointer to a memory array in the Arduino

}

void loop() {

switch( u8state ) {

case 0:

if (millis() > u32wait) u8state++; // wait state

break;

case 1:

master.query(telegram); // send query (only once)
u8state++;
break;

case 2:

master.poll(); // check incoming messages
if (master.getState() == COM_IDLE) {
u8state = 0;
u32wait = millis() + 1000;
Serial.print(“ontvangen data: “);
Serial.println(au16data[0]);

}

break;

}

delay(200);

}

This is what i’ve come up with so far. I have no idea but i think this should result something.
What i don’t know if is my sensor is correctly wired. I did order a USB-RS485 dongle to check if it really
works at all. Hope someone can confirm if the code below should come up with a result.

The address of the sensor is 1 , that’s for sure, the input register for temperature is also 1, so..

The problem was in the Parity , i set it to
master.begin(19200,SERIAL_8E1);

and now i get data out of the sensor. Data is still a bit weird (about 50°C where it should read 20 or so),but that’s another issue that has nothing to do with controllino.

Hi,

thanks for sharing! Have you also resolved the issue with the wrong temperature?
