MODBUS_WRITE_AND_REA(3) Libmodbus Manual MODBUS_WRITE_AND_REA(3)NAMEmodbus_write_and_read_registers - write and read many registers in a
single transaction
SYNOPSIS
int modbus_write_and_read_registers(modbus_t *ctx, int write_addr, int
write_nb, const uint16_t *src, int read_addr, int read_nb, const
uint16_t *dest);
DESCRIPTION
The modbus_write_and_read_registers() function shall write the content
of the write_nb holding registers from the array src to the address
write_addr of the remote device then shall read the content of the
read_nb holding registers to the address read_addr of the remote
device. The result of reading is stored in dest array as word values
(16 bits).
You must take care to allocate enough memory to store the results in
dest (at least nb * sizeof(uint16_t)).
The function uses the Modbus function code 0x17 (write/read registers).
RETURN VALUE
The modbus_write_and_read_registers() function shall return the number
of read registers if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and set
errno.
ERRORS
EMBMDATA
Too many registers requested, Too many registers to write
