Struct Address

pub struct Address(/* private fields */);

Represents a validated Modbus device address, used for RTU communication over RS485.

Valid addresses are in the range 1 to 247 (inclusive). Use Address::try_from to create an instance from a u8. Provides constants and methods for reading/writing the device address itself via Modbus commands.

Implementations

impl Address

pub const ADDRESS: u16 = 255u16

The Modbus register address used to read or write the device’s own Modbus address.

Use Modbus function 0x03 (Read Holding Registers) to read (requires addressing the device with its current address or the broadcast address). Use function 0x06 (Write Single Register) to change the address (also requires addressing the device with its current address).

pub const QUANTITY: u16 = 1u16

The number of registers to read when reading the device address.

pub const MIN: u8 = 1u8

The minimum valid assignable Modbus device address (inclusive).

pub const MAX: u8 = 247u8

The maximum valid assignable Modbus device address (inclusive).

pub const BROADCAST: Address

The Modbus broadcast address (0xFF or 255).

Can be used for reading the device address when it’s unknown. This address cannot be assigned to a device as its permanent address.

pub fn decode_from_holding_registers(words: &[Word]) -> Self

Decodes the device Address from a Modbus holding register value read from the device.

Expects words to contain the single register value read from the device address configuration register (Address::ADDRESS). It validates that the decoded address is within the assignable range (Address::MIN..=Address::MAX).

Arguments

• words: A slice containing the Word value read from the device address register. Expected to have length 1.

Returns

An Address struct containing the decoded and validated value.

Panics

Panics if:

1. words is empty.
2. The address value read from the register is outside the valid range.

pub fn encode_for_write_register(&self) -> Word

Encodes the device Address into a Word value suitable for writing to the device address configuration register (Address::ADDRESS) using Modbus function 0x06.

Returns

The Word (u16) representation of the address value.

Methods from Deref<Target = u8>

pub const MIN: u8 = 0u8

pub const MAX: u8 = 255u8

pub const BITS: u32 = 8u32

pub fn is_ascii(&self) -> bool

Checks if the value is within the ASCII range.

Examples

let ascii = 97u8;
let non_ascii = 150u8;

assert!(ascii.is_ascii());
assert!(!non_ascii.is_ascii());

pub fn as_ascii(&self) -> Option<AsciiChar>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

If the value of this byte is within the ASCII range, returns it as an ASCII character. Otherwise, returns None.

pub unsafe fn as_ascii_unchecked(&self) -> AsciiChar

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this byte to an ASCII character, without checking whether or not it’s valid.

Safety

This byte must be valid ASCII, or else this is UB.

pub fn to_ascii_uppercase(&self) -> u8

Makes a copy of the value in its ASCII upper case equivalent.

ASCII letters ‘a’ to ‘z’ are mapped to ‘A’ to ‘Z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

To uppercase the value in-place, use make_ascii_uppercase.

Examples

let lowercase_a = 97u8;

assert_eq!(65, lowercase_a.to_ascii_uppercase());

pub fn to_ascii_lowercase(&self) -> u8

Makes a copy of the value in its ASCII lower case equivalent.

ASCII letters ‘A’ to ‘Z’ are mapped to ‘a’ to ‘z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

To lowercase the value in-place, use make_ascii_lowercase.

Examples

let uppercase_a = 65u8;

assert_eq!(97, uppercase_a.to_ascii_lowercase());

pub fn eq_ignore_ascii_case(&self, other: &u8) -> bool

Checks that two values are an ASCII case-insensitive match.

This is equivalent to to_ascii_lowercase(a) == to_ascii_lowercase(b).

Examples

let lowercase_a = 97u8;
let uppercase_a = 65u8;

assert!(lowercase_a.eq_ignore_ascii_case(&uppercase_a));

pub fn is_ascii_whitespace(&self) -> bool

Checks if the value is an ASCII whitespace character: U+0020 SPACE, U+0009 HORIZONTAL TAB, U+000A LINE FEED, U+000C FORM FEED, or U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN.

Rust uses the WhatWG Infra Standard’s definition of ASCII whitespace. There are several other definitions in wide use. For instance, the POSIX locale includes U+000B VERTICAL TAB as well as all the above characters, but—from the very same specification—the default rule for “field splitting” in the Bourne shell considers only SPACE, HORIZONTAL TAB, and LINE FEED as whitespace.

If you are writing a program that will process an existing file format, check what that format’s definition of whitespace is before using this function.

Examples

let uppercase_a = b'A';
let uppercase_g = b'G';
let a = b'a';
let g = b'g';
let zero = b'0';
let percent = b'%';
let space = b' ';
let lf = b'\n';
let esc = b'\x1b';

assert!(!uppercase_a.is_ascii_whitespace());
assert!(!uppercase_g.is_ascii_whitespace());
assert!(!a.is_ascii_whitespace());
assert!(!g.is_ascii_whitespace());
assert!(!zero.is_ascii_whitespace());
assert!(!percent.is_ascii_whitespace());
assert!(space.is_ascii_whitespace());
assert!(lf.is_ascii_whitespace());
assert!(!esc.is_ascii_whitespace());

pub fn is_ascii_control(&self) -> bool

Checks if the value is an ASCII control character: U+0000 NUL ..= U+001F UNIT SEPARATOR, or U+007F DELETE. Note that most ASCII whitespace characters are control characters, but SPACE is not.

Examples

let uppercase_a = b'A';
let uppercase_g = b'G';
let a = b'a';
let g = b'g';
let zero = b'0';
let percent = b'%';
let space = b' ';
let lf = b'\n';
let esc = b'\x1b';

assert!(!uppercase_a.is_ascii_control());
assert!(!uppercase_g.is_ascii_control());
assert!(!a.is_ascii_control());
assert!(!g.is_ascii_control());
assert!(!zero.is_ascii_control());

assert!(lf.is_ascii_control());
assert!(esc.is_ascii_control());
