# Gidrolock Modbus Scanner
[RU](https://github.com/nikzori/modbus-scanner) | EN
A Modbus scanner with both simple functionality and advanced features. Works for any device connected via Modbus RTU.
Comes with config files for Gidrolock devices.
Modbus TCP is still WIP.
## Configs and auto-identification
Configs are `.json` files describing basic device info and data that can be polled from it.
The `checkEntry` object in the config allows to go through every config file in a folder to detect the appropriate config.
## Regular polling
This app can regularly and selectively poll entries from the config file. (Works, but still WIP)
Config fields and possible values:
```js
{
// Template/device name
"name" : "Gidrolock Standard Wi-Fi RS-485",
// Device description
"description" : "Smart valve controller unit with wired and wireless leak sensor support",
// the list of entries that can be polled from the device
// each entry is a separate field that supports polling multiple registers and parsing data into UTF-8, int, etc.
"entries" : [
{
// entry name
"name": "Modbus ID",
// register type:
// "coil", "discrete", "input", "holding"
"registerType": "holding",
// starting register address
// begins with 0
"address": 128,
// number of polled registers
// default value: 1
"length": 1,
// data type for parsing
// supported data types: bool, uint16, uint32, utf8
// default value: uint16
"dataType": "uint16",
// whether the entry should be polled again
// if `false`, the entry will be polled only once
"readOnce": true
}
],
// unique value for a device: model ID, firmware version
"checkEntry": {
"registerType": "input",
"address": 200,
"length": 6,
"dataType": "string",
// value after parsing
"expectedValue": "SWT485"
}
}
```
### To-Do
1. Cycle through configs in a folder to select a fitting one
2. Configurable regular polling
3. Modbus TPC support
