    MQTT

    The data collected from the device can be transmitted to the mqtt broker through mqtt application, and instructions can be sent to neuron throuth mqtt application.

    client-id is mqtt client id.

    ssl enable mqtt ssl, default false.

    host is mqtt broker host.

    port is mqtt broker port.

    username is the user used when connecting to the broker.

    password is the password used when connecting to the broker.

    ca-path is ca path.

    ca-file is ca file.

    The modbus protocol includes three drivers: modbus RTU, modbus tcp, and modbus RTU over TCP.

    • UINT16
    • UINT32
    • FLOAT
    • BIT
    • STRING

    Parameter Setting

    connection mode: The way the driver connects to the device, the default is client, which means that the neuron driver is used as the client.

    host：When neuron is used as a client, host means the ip of the remote device. When used as a server, it means the ip used by neuron locally, and 0.0.0.0 can be filled in by default.

    port: When neuron is used as client, port means the tcp port of the remote device. When used as a server, it means the tcp port used by neuron locally. default 502.

    Address Format

    SLAVE is slave id.

    ADDRESS is the register address.
