R413D08 8 Channel Module

This Rust project enables communication with an R413D08 8 Channel Module using Modbus RTU/TCP from the command line. It should also work with the R421A08 relay card because it has the same Modbus commands.

Installation & Compilation

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following dependencies installed before proceeding:

• Rust and Cargo: Install via rustup
• Git: To clone the repository

Building from Source

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/acpiccolo/R413D08-Controller.git
   cd R413D08-Controller
   

2. Compile the project:

   cargo build --release
   

   The compiled binary will be available at:

   target/release/relay
   

3. (Optional) Install the binary system-wide:

   cargo install --path .
   

   This installs relay to $HOME/.cargo/bin, making it accessible from anywhere.

Usage

For TCP Modbus connected devices:

relay tcp 192.168.0.222:502 status

Set relay '0' to 'On'

For RTU Modbus:

relay rtu --address 1 on 0

For TCP Modbus:

relay tcp 192.168.0.222:502 on 0

Turn Off Relay '3'

For RTU Modbus:

relay rtu --address 1 off 3

For TCP Modbus:
