API

umodbus.client.serial.rtu.send_message(adu, serial_port)

Send ADU over serial to to server and return parsed response.

Parameters:

• adu – Request ADU.
• sock – Serial port instance.

Returns:

Parsed response from server.

umodbus.client.serial.rtu.parse_response_adu(resp_adu, req_adu=None)

Parse response ADU and return response data. Some functions require request ADU to fully understand request ADU.

Parameters:

• resp_adu – Resonse ADU.
• req_adu – Request ADU, default None.

Returns:

Response data.
