mbus-core 0.3.0

//! # Modbus Transport Layer
//!
//! This module defines the abstractions and configurations required for transmitting
//! Modbus Application Data Units (ADUs) over various physical and logical mediums.
//!
//! ## Core Concepts
//! - **[`Transport`]**: A unified trait that abstracts the underlying communication
//!   (TCP, Serial, or Mock) from the high-level protocol logic.
//! - **[`ModbusConfig`]**: A comprehensive configuration enum for setting up
//!   TCP/IP or Serial (RTU/ASCII) parameters.
//! - **[`BackoffStrategy`]**: Poll-driven retry scheduling strategy used after timeouts.
//! - **[`JitterStrategy`]**: Optional jitter added on top of retry backoff delays.
//! - **[`RetryRandomFn`]**: Application-supplied random callback used only when jitter is enabled.
//! - **[`UnitIdOrSlaveAddr`]**: A type-safe wrapper ensuring that Modbus addresses
//!   stay within the valid range (1-247) and handling broadcast (0) explicitly.
//!
//! ## Design Goals
//! - **`no_std` Compatibility**: Uses `heapless` data structures and `core` traits
//!   to ensure the library can run on bare-metal embedded systems.
//! - **Non-blocking I/O**: The `Transport::recv` interface is designed to be polled,
//!   allowing the client to remain responsive without requiring an OS-level thread.
//! - **Scheduled retries**: Retry backoff/jitter values are consumed by higher layers
//!   to schedule retransmissions using timestamps, never by sleeping.
//! - **Extensibility**: Users can implement the `Transport` trait to support
//!   custom hardware (e.g., specialized UART drivers or proprietary TCP stacks).
//!
//! ## Error Handling
//! Errors are categorized into [`TransportError`], which can be seamlessly converted
//! into the top-level [`MbusError`] used throughout the crate.

/// A unified trait defining the interface for any Modbus physical or network transport layer.
///
/// This trait abstracts the underlying communication medium (e.g., TCP socket, Serial COM port,
/// or a mocked in-memory buffer) so that the higher-level Modbus Client Services can orchestrate
/// transactions without needing to know the specifics of the hardware layer.
///
/// # Implementor Responsibilities
/// Implementors of this trait must ensure:
/// - **Connection Management**: Handling the initialization and teardown of the physical link.
/// - **Framing**: Reading exactly one complete Modbus Application Data Unit (ADU) at a time for TCP.
///   For TCP, this means parsing the MBAP header to determine the length. For Serial (RTU), this
///   involves managing inter-frame timing silences or LRC/CRCs. In other words, just provide the available bytes;
///   the protocol stack is intelligent enough to construct the full frame. If a timeout occurs, the stack will clear the buffer.
pub trait Transport {
    /// The specific error type returned by this transport implementation.
    /// It must be convertible into the common `MbusError` for upper-layer processing.
    type Error: Into<MbusError>;

    /// Establishes the physical or logical connection to the Modbus server/slave.
    ///
    /// # Arguments
    /// * `config` - A generalized `ModbusConfig` enum containing specific settings (like
    ///   IP/Port for TCP or Baud Rate/Parity for Serial connections).
    ///
    /// # Returns
    /// - `Ok(())` if the underlying port was opened or socket successfully connected.
    /// - `Err(Self::Error)` if the initialization fails (e.g., port busy, network unreachable).
    fn connect(&mut self, config: &ModbusConfig) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;

    /// Gracefully closes the active connection and releases underlying resources.
    ///
    /// After calling this method, subsequent calls to `send` or `recv` should fail until
    /// `connect` is called again.
    fn disconnect(&mut self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;

    /// Transmits a complete Modbus Application Data Unit (ADU) over the transport medium.
    ///
    /// The provided `adu` slice contains the fully formed byte frame, including all headers
    /// (like MBAP for TCP) and footers (like CRC/LRC for Serial).
    ///
    /// # Arguments
    /// * `adu` - A contiguous byte slice representing the packet to send.
    fn send(&mut self, adu: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;

    /// Receives available bytes from the transport medium in a **non-blocking** manner.
    ///
    /// # Implementation Details
    /// - **TCP**: Implementors should ideally return a complete Modbus Application Data Unit (ADU).
    /// - **Serial**: Implementors can return any number of available bytes. The protocol stack
    ///   is responsible for accumulating these fragments into a complete frame.
    /// - **Timeouts**: If the protocol stack fails to assemble a full frame within the configured
    ///   `response_timeout_ms`, it will automatically clear its internal buffers.
    ///
    /// # Returns
    /// - `Ok(Vec<u8, MAX_ADU_FRAME_LEN>)`: A non-empty heapless vector containing bytes read since
    ///   the last call.
    /// - `Err(Self::Error)`: Returns `TransportError::Timeout` if no data is currently available,
    ///   or other errors if the connection is lost or hardware fails.
    ///
    /// Contract note: when no data is available in non-blocking mode, implementations must
    /// return `Err(TransportError::Timeout)` (or transport-specific equivalent) and should not
    /// return `Ok` with an empty vector.
    fn recv(&mut self) -> Result<Vec<u8, MAX_ADU_FRAME_LEN>, Self::Error>;

    /// Checks if the transport considers itself currently active and connected.
