Modbus Mirror - SEAL Script

[StefanLundin]

Introducing the SEAL Script: Modbus Mirror

We are excited to introduce another community-driven SEAL Script named Modbus Mirror, designed to facilitate integration through Modbus interfaces with the EBO system. Here are the key features and limitations:

Key Features:

• Automation: Seamlessly mirrors an entire AS to Modbus, transferring functionality and bindings to Modbus objects.
• Compatibility: Supports various object types such as IO, values, and schedules, with some limitations for alarms.
• Flexibility: Adapts to different standards and structures across countries, though some manual adjustments may be necessary.
• Mirroring: Efficiently mirrors variables, IO, alarms, and time schedules to a Modbus Local Device Interface.
• Documentation: Generates a Modbus tag list based on the mirrored Modbus variables.

Limitations:

• Alarms: Limits and delays cannot be set via Modbus; only alarm status is exposed. However, delays and limits are mirrored as separate variables.
• Time Channels: Creates variables for on/off times for two time channels per day, but advanced functions like night cooling may not work. The package includes a graphic interface for a Modbus schedule to replace the EBO schedule if mirrored to Modbus.
• Trend Logs: Not supported.

Important Note:

This script is a community-driven project and is not guaranteed to fulfill all needs. It is not shared as a standard script in the tool due to its collaborative nature and ongoing development. We encourage users to contribute and help improve the script further.

Disclaimer:

This script will make significant changes to the EBO database. It is crucial to make a BACKUP of the EBO server before running this script.

Usage:

• For detailed information, please refer to the attached script and manual.
