Serial ModBus communication between sensor and CR1000X


Technician Sep 23, 2022 01:50 PM

I'm trying to use the digital interface of the temperature and humity probe "Rotronic HygroClip2 Advanced Series HC2A-S3" with the CR1000X.

Datasheet of the probe:

https://www.alphacontrols.com/Multimedia/www.alphacontrols.com/Files/ProductCategory/330/Manual.pdf

After trying multiple different protocols, setups and functions within CRBasic, I've finally managed to get a response from the probe when I send a "Data request". 

The probe is setup to use Modbus-protocol and according to the digital chip in the probe, 

https://prodc5fe4b8-pic4.ysjianzhan.cn/upload/E-M-AC3000-CP_20.pdf (Modbus protocol)

The probe needs to recive the command:

:0103CRLF

To respond with the sensor data in the from:

:010306015E04CE042B96CRLF

Currently when using the sniffer mode in the terminal emulator in Loggernet, I'm able to see that my data request command is send correctly, but the response I recive is not in the expected form. 

I've also tried to use the dedicated modbus functions within the CRBasic editor, but using them I get no response in the sniffer mode.

Bellow is the data from the Terminal emulator in Loggernet and the code running on the CR1000X:
