RE: streamDevice configuration issues with serial ports

You should also enable asynTrace on the underlying RS-485 port so you can see all the communications.  The fact that you don’t receive any response suggests that you could have a wiring problem in addition to software problems.

Subject: streamDevice configuration issues with serial ports

 

Hi all,

     I have a sensor that communicates via RS485 with the Modbus RTU protocol. I want to use streamDevice to read the sensor values, but I've found that there is no data transmission between the system and the sensor, and the following issues have occurred：

 

epics> 2024/10/28 21:00:05.370941 SI Sensor:Data: No reply within 10000 ms to "<01><04><00><00><00><06>p<08><0d><0a>"

    My protocol(RS485Test.proto) file is written like this：

 

Terminator = CR LF;
InTerminator = CR LF;
ReplyTimeout = 10000;
ReadTimeout = 10000;

getData
{
  out "\x01\x04\x00\x00\x00\x06\x70\x08";
  in "%r";
}

    Record(RS485Test.db)：

 

record(ai, "Sensor:Data")
{
    field(DTYP, "stream")
    field(INP, "@RS485Test.proto getData SI")
    field(SCAN, "5 second")
}

 

    IOC st.cmd:

 

#!../../bin/linux-x86_64/dataProcessing
 
< envPaths

dbLoadDatabase("../../dbd/dataProcessing.dbd",0,0)
dataProcessing_registerRecordDeviceDriver pdbbase
epicsEnvSet ("STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH", "/home/training/examples/dataProcessingApp/Db")


drvAsynSerialPortConfigure("SI", "/dev/ttyS3")
asynSetOption("SI", 0, "baud", "9600")
asynSetOption("SI", 0, "bits", "8")
asynSetOption("SI", 0, "parity", "none")
asynSetOption("SI", 0, "stop", "1")
asynSetOption("SI", 0, "clocal", "Y")
asynSetOption("SI", 0, "crtscts", "N")

## Load record instances
dbLoadRecords("../../db/RS485Test.db")

iocInit()

 

    Is there anything wrong with these?
