Detailed Description

A typical Modbus response can looks like this:


  QModbusResponse response(QModbusResponse::ReadCoils, QByteArray::fromHex("02cd01"));

Note: When using the constructor taking the QByteArray, please make sure to convert the containing data to big-endian byte order before creating the request.

The same response can be created like this, if the values are know at compile time:


  quint8 payloadInBytes = 2, outputHigh = 0xcd, outputLow = 0x01;
  QModbusResponse response(QModbusResponse::ReadCoils, payloadInBytes, outputHigh, outputLow);

Member Type Documentation

typedef QModbusResponse::CalcFuncPtr

Typedef for a pointer to a custom calculator function with the same signature as QModbusResponse::calculateDataSize.

Member Function Documentation

[static] int QModbusResponse::calculateDataSize(const QModbusResponse &response)

Calculates the expected data size for response, based on the response's function code and data. Returns the full size of the response's data part; -1 if the size could not be properly calculated.

See also minimumDataSize and registerDataSizeCalculator.

[static] int QModbusResponse::minimumDataSize(const QModbusResponse &response)

Returns the expected minimum data size for response based on the response's function code; -1 if the function code is not known.

[static] void QModbusResponse::registerDataSizeCalculator(QModbusPdu::FunctionCode fc, QModbusResponse::CalcFuncPtr calculator)

This function registers a user-defined implementation to calculate the response data size for function code fc. It can be used to extend or override the implementation inside QModbusResponse::calculateDataSize().

The CalcFuncPtr is a typedef for a pointer to a custom calculator function with the following signature:


  int myCalculateDataSize(const QModbusResponse &pdu);

Related Non-Members

QDataStream &QModbusResponse::operator>>(QDataStream &stream, QModbusResponse &pdu)

Reads a pdu from the stream and returns a reference to the stream.

Note: The function might fail to properly stream PDU's with function code QModbusPdu::Diagnostics or QModbusPdu::EncapsulatedInterfaceTransport because of the missing size indicator inside the PDU. In particular this may happen when the PDU is embedded into a stream that doesn't end with the diagnostic/encapsulated request itself.
