The Golang Modbus Server (Slave) responds to the following Modbus function requests:
Bit access:
- Read Discrete Inputs
- Read Coils
- Write Single Coil
- Write Multiple Coils
16-bit acess:
- Read Input Registers
- Read Multiple Holding Registers
- Write Single Holding Register
- Write Multiple Holding Registers
TCP and serial RTU access is supported.
The server internally allocates memory for 65536 coils, 65536 discrete inputs, 653356 holding registers and 65536 input registers. On start, all values are initialzied to zero. Modbus requests are processed in the order they are received and will not overlap/interfere with each other.
The golang mbserver documentation.
Create a Modbus TCP Server (Slave):
package main
import (
"log"
"time"
"github.com/tbrandon/mbserver"
)
func main() {
serv := mbserver.NewServer()
err := serv.ListenTCP("127.0.0.1:1502")
if err != nil {
log.Printf("%v\n", err)
}
defer serv.Close()
// Wait forever
for {
time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
}
}The server will continue to listen until killed (<ctrl>-c). Modbus typically uses port 502 (standard users require special permissions to listen on port 502). Change the port number as required. Change the address to 0.0.0.0 to listen on all network interfaces.
An example of a client writing and reading holding regsiters:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/goburrow/modbus"
)
func main() {
handler := modbus.NewTCPClientHandler("localhost:1502")
// Connect manually so that multiple requests are handled in one session
err := handler.Connect()
defer handler.Close()
client := modbus.NewClient(handler)
_, err = client.WriteMultipleRegisters(0, 3, []byte{0, 3, 0, 4, 0, 5})
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("%v\n", err)
}
results, err := client.ReadHoldingRegisters(0, 3)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("%v\n", err)
}
fmt.Printf("results %v\n", results)
}
Outputs:
results [0 3 0 4 0 5]The Golang Modbus Server can listen on multiple TCP ports and serial devices. In the following example, the Modbus server will be configured to listen on 127.0.0.1:1502, 0.0.0.0:3502, /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyACM0
serv := mbserver.NewServer()
err := serv.ListenTCP("127.0.0.1:1502")
if err != nil {
log.Printf("%v\n", err)
}
err := serv.ListenTCP("0.0.0.0:3502")
if err != nil {
log.Printf("%v\n", err)
}
err := s.ListenRTU(&serial.Config{
Address: "/dev/ttyUSB0",
BaudRate: 115200,
DataBits: 8,
StopBits: 1,
Parity: "N",
Timeout: 10 * time.Second})
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("failed to listen, got %v\n", err)
}
err := s.ListenRTU(&serial.Config{
Address: "/dev/ttyACM0",
BaudRate: 9600,
DataBits: 8,
StopBits: 1,
Parity: "N",
Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
RS485: serial.RS485Config{
Enabled: true,
DelayRtsBeforeSend: 2 * time.Millisecond
DelayRtsAfterSend: 3 * time.Millisecond
RtsHighDuringSend: false,
RtsHighAfterSend: false,
RxDuringTx: false
})
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("failed to listen, got %v\n", err)
}
defer serv.Close()Information on serial port settings.
RegisterFunctionHandler allows the default server functionality to be overridden for a Modbus function code.
func (s *Server) RegisterFunctionHandler(funcCode uint8, function func(*Server, Framer) ([]byte, *Exception))Example of overriding the default ReadDiscreteInputs funtion:
serv := NewServer()
// Override ReadDiscreteInputs function.
serv.RegisterFunctionHandler(2,
func(s *Server, frame Framer) ([]byte, *Exception) {
register, numRegs, endRegister := frame.registerAddressAndNumber()
// Check the request is within the allocated memory
if endRegister > 65535 {
return []byte{}, &IllegalDataAddress
}
dataSize := numRegs / 8
if (numRegs % 8) != 0 {
dataSize++
}
data := make([]byte, 1+dataSize)
data[0] = byte(dataSize)
for i := range s.DiscreteInputs[register:endRegister] {
// Return all 1s, regardless of the value in the DiscreteInputs array.
shift := uint(i) % 8
data[1+i/8] |= byte(1 << shift)
}
return data, &Success
})
// Start the server.
err := serv.ListenTCP("localhost:4321")
if err != nil {
log.Printf("%v\n", err)
return
}
defer serv.Close()
// Wait for the server to start
time.Sleep(1 * time.Millisecond)
// Example of a client reading from the server started above.
// Connect a client.
handler := modbus.NewTCPClientHandler("localhost:4321")
err = handler.Connect()
if err != nil {
log.Printf("%v\n", err)
return
}
defer handler.Close()
client := modbus.NewClient(handler)
// Read discrete inputs.
results, err := client.ReadDiscreteInputs(0, 16)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("%v\n", err)
}
fmt.Printf("results %v\n", results)Output:

Operations per second are higher when requests are not forced to be synchronously processed. In the case of simultaneous client access, synchronous Modbus request processing prevents data corruption.
To understand performanc limitations, create a CPU profile graph for the WriteMultipleCoils benchmark:
go test -bench=.MultipleCoils -cpuprofile=cpu.out
go tool pprof modbus-server.test cpu.out

There is a known race condition in the code relating to calling Serial Read() and Close() functions in different go routines.
To check for race conditions, run:
