    Sorry, I've never used the pollmb.py. Would be the mbpoll example sufficient? You can install the mbpoll from our repository: apt update && apt install mbpoll

    Yes. If you can give mbpoll example that would be great!

    For Group 1 on M503

    Verify the status of the MWD (if 0 - MWD disable, if 1 - MWD enabled but never rebooted, if 2 - MWD enabled and already rebooted):
    mbpoll -m tcp -a 0 127.0.0.1 -0 -1 -r 6

    Set the MWD timeout to 5000ms:
    mbpoll -m tcp -a 0 127.0.0.1 -0 -r 1008 5000

    Enable the MWD:
    mbpoll -m tcp -a 0 127.0.0.1 -0 -r 6 1

    Write the settings to the NVRAM:
    mbpoll -m tcp -a 0 127.0.0.1 -0 -t 0 -r 1003 1

    Verify the MWD by stopping the UniPi Modbus TCP server:
    sudo systemctl stop unipitcp

    The both lines of LEDs should blink for 1sec after the MWD timeout

    Disable the MWD:
    mbpoll -m tcp -a 0 127.0.0.1 -0 -r 6 0

    Write the settings to the NVRAM:
    mbpoll -m tcp -a 0 127.0.0.1 -0 -t 0 -r 1003 1

    For Group 2 on M503
    Use the MWD control register 114 instead of 6
    Use the MWD timeout register 1108 instead of 1008
    Use the Save configuration coil 1103 instead of 1003

    Thanks for the good instructions! After enabling MWD, setting timeout and writing the settings:

    What does that result (3) mean? Its not 0, 1 or 2.

    Btw

    sudo systemctl stop unipitcp

    should be

    sudo systemctl stop neurontcp

    in Neuron M503...right??

    Hi @vesa-kauppinen,
    sorry the value 3 is 1 + 2, which means board has MWD enabled and the MWD already rebooted the board.

    The service is called unipitcp, but in older packages it was called neurontcp. The service is the same for Neurons and Axons, so we renamed it to unipitcp to make it more clear.

    Best regards,
    Martin

    Aaaaa...of course :D

    But what about this: either 11 or 3

    Ok, this is a little bit tricky. The register has 16bits, and some of the bits represent some state or function.

    Bit 0: Set or read the status of the MWD
    Bit 1: The MWD rebooted the boarde
    other bits contain some debug information, which we haven't documented yet

    So value 11 in decimal is 0000 0000 0000 1011 in binary. The bit no. 0 (first from the right) is 1, which means MWD is enabled. The bit no. 1 (second from the right) is 1, which means MWD already rebooted the board. Other bits don't apply to you.

    You can "mask" the lowest 2 bits with boolean operation AND, typically with bit mask in hexadecimal representation:

    register_6 && 0x0003

    Or with binary mask:

    register_6 && 0b11

    I hope this helps you.

    Hi...again

    One more stupid question: How do I reset 1-wire bus with mbpoll?

    I mean, how can i "convert" those commands:

    ./pollmb.py -p 502 -u 1 -f 5 -a 1001 -q 1 -d 1
./pollmb.py -p 502 -u 1 -f 5 -a 1001 -q 1 -d 0

    to mbpoll "format". I just don't understand how to read/write coils with mbpoll.

    Thank you!

    Hi @vesa-kauppinen,
    writing 1 to coil 1001:

    mbpoll -m tcp -a 0 127.0.0.1 -t 0 -0 -r 1001 1

    Writing 0:

    mbpoll -m tcp -a 0 127.0.0.1 -t 0 -0 -r 1001 0

    You can learn more from the quite detailed help of the mbpoll:

    mbpoll -h

    Regards,
    Martin
