ModbusTcpToInfluxDB 🔄

Welcome to ModbusTcpToInfluxDB, the seamless bridge between Modbus TCP devices and InfluxDB database! 🌉 With this tool, you can capture data from any Modbus TCP device and store it in an InfluxDB database for monitoring, analysis, or any other purpose you might imagine. Works perfectly with Grafana.📊✨

Configuration 🛠️

Configuration is a breeze with just a single config.toml file. Specify a value's name, its register in the device, and its datatype. The program takes care of the rest, reading the necessary registers and writing the values to InfluxDB. 🔄

Config Definition Explained 📝

Your config.toml relies on several Rust structures defined with serde for serialization/deserialization. Here's what each part means and how to use it:

ModbusConfig

• ip: The IP address of your Modbus TCP device.
• uid (optional): The unique identifier for the device. Defaults to 0.
• port (optional): The port your Modbus TCP device communicates over. Defaults to 502.

InfluxConfig

• host: The URL to your InfluxDB instance.
• org: The organization name in InfluxDB.
• bucket: The bucket within InfluxDB where data will be stored.
• token: Your InfluxDB access token for authentication.

GeneralConfig

• refresh_ms (optional): How often (in milliseconds) to refresh and write new data. Defaults to 2000.
• log_level (optional): Specifies the verbosity of logs. Can be error, warn, info, debug, or trace. Defaults to info.

RegisterConfig

• name: A human-readable name for the value.
• register_number: The register number in the Modbus device where the value is read.
• datatype: Specifies the type of data and how it should be interpreted. For instance:
  • U16, U32, I16, I32, I64 indicate whether the data is unsigned (U) or signed (I) and the bit length. This is crucial as it determines how the program interprets the data in the registers.
  • A U16 data type means the value is unsigned and occupies a single 16-bit register.
  • U32 and I32 types will be read from two consecutive 16-bit registers, and I64 from four, given that each register is 16 bits in length.
  • The program automatically handles the reading of multiple registers for U32, I64, etc., ensuring that data spanning multiple registers is correctly interpreted and combined.
• gain (optional): The gain of the value, which the program will divide by. Defaults to 1.

Example Configuration 🌟

[modbus]
ip = "10.18.40.60"
port = 502 #optional
uid = 0 #optional

[influx]
host = "http://10.18.40.35:8086"
org = "your_org"
bucket = "pv"
token = "your_token_here"

[general]
refresh_ms = 2000 #optional
log_level = "info" #optional

[[register]]
name = "Input power"
register_number = 40521
datatype = "u32"

[[register]]
name = "Power factor"
register_number = 40532
datatype = "i16"
gain = 1000 #optional

Getting Started 🚀

1. Download the latest release for your operating system (Linux or Windows) from the Releases section.
2. Create your config.toml in the working directory of the application, adjusting it according to your device and InfluxDB settings.
3. Run the program!

Your Modbus TCP data will now be automatically read and written to your InfluxDB database. 🎉
