Hi everybody !

Above all I would like to thank you all for your work. I found it very useful for me. I’m quite new in this field, but I’m getting informed about the things I need.

I would like to know :

 

it is possible tu use the lwIP stack with the MODBUS TCP/IP application protocol ?

 

If it is possible, do I need an API ? (in the MODBUS TCP/IP applications we just need to read and write registers, nothing more)

 

Do I always need an operating system emulation layer when implementing a lwIP ?

 

As I’m not an expert I would like to begin implementing a very simple (but complete) version of the lwIP.

 

I thank you in advance for your kind answers.

There should be no problem using lwIP for a MODBUS TCP/IP application. You don't even need an OS for that, as long as you write the application with the raw API (a.k.a. callback API). I fact, we use it for something quite similar, though not exactly MODBUS.

However, I don't know of an existing MODBUS TCP/IP application for lwIP, so you will need to write it on your own, I'm afraid.

Hello,

Our FreeMODBUS stack (http://www.freemodbus.org) support lwIP in the
STR71X/lwIP/PPP example. Should be fairly straight forward to update to
a recent lwIP port.

If you require commercial support for this feel free to contact us too.

I've implemented Modbus/TCP on multiple products using the raw API... but the solution is kind of kludgy because we had already supported serial Modbus in previous iterations of those product lines, so we bolted onto that. I've yet to generalize it for the community, and see no opportunity to do so in the near future, though I would like to eventually.

Hi Gabriel,

I'm using MODBUS IP in some projects with LwIP and FreeRTOS. I'm using the netconn API, and it works great. As MODBUS is not using TCP for acknowledgement (in contrast to IEC 60870-104), i would suggest you to also implement the choice of using MODBUS UDP as well. It is not defined in the standard, but more and more devices are supporting it. With TCP you have always a "double acknowledgement" which causes useless traffic, especially on slow connections.

Kind regards
Marco

Can you able to share code for modbus tcp ?
