Choose IoT components

Step 2: Select IoT components

Choose the components that you require, the s/w and h/w list that you made will help you choose the components.

To use the components in shunya you need to do 2 things

Provide user settings in a JSON configuration file
Write code using Shunya API's

1. Connect PLC's/Industrial Meters

Before you start

Get the connection details of the device that you will be connecting with modbus, Details like
- Connection Type: TCP/RTU
- Device IP address (only for TCP)
- Device Port (only for TCP)
- Device Baudrate (Only for RTU)
Get Modbus address that you want to read and write.

For example: Let's say you want to read Voltage from an Electric Meter connected via Modbus, you need to know the Modbus address where the Voltage parameter is stored

Usually you will find the modbus addresses in the Electric Meter datasheet.

C/CPP

Sample JSON configuration:

"boiler1plc": {
    "type": "tcp",
    "ipaddr": "192.168.0.101",
    "port": "5059",
},

Sample Modbus code:

/*Include this header file into your program */
#include <si/shunyaInterfaces.h>

/* Main Function */
int main(void) {
    /* Initialize the Library */
    importSiCore();
    importSiIiot();

    modbusObj boilerplc = newModbus("boiler1plc");
    /* Connect to the PLC */
    modbusConnect(&boilerplc);

    /* Read boiler temperature from the plc */
    int temperature = modbusRead(&boilerplc, 3000);

    /* Write data to the PLC*/
    modbusWrite(&boilerplc, 3001, 45);
    
    /* Disconnect from the PLC */
    modbusDisconnect(&boilerplc);

    return 0;
}

Modbus configuration

Config	Description
Protocol Type	Modbus is available in 2 variants RTU and TCP. Select the mode that you want to communicate
IP address	Modbus server IP address (only for Modbus TCP type)
Port	Modbus server Port (only for Modbus TCP type)
Device	Modbus server Device node (only for Modbus RTU type)
Baud Rate	Modbus server Baud rate (only for Modbus RTU type)

The configurations need to be set manually by the user before using the API's

For example:

A sample JSON snippet should contain

"modbus": {
    "type": "", 
    "ipaddr": "", 
    "port": "", 
    "device": "",
    "baudrate": 9600
}

Take a blank json file and keep pasting the sample snippets and modify them with your configuration.

    importSiIiot();

    modbusObj boilerplc = newModbus("boiler1plc");
    /* Connect to the PLC */
    modbusConnect(&boilerplc);
    /* Read boiler temperature from the plc */
    int temperature = modbusRead(&boilerplc, 3000);

    /* Write data to the PLC*/
    modbusWrite(&boilerplc, 3001, 45);
    
    /* Disconnect from the PLC */
    modbusDisconnect(&boilerplc);

    return 0;
}

Modbus configuration
