CCS: GUI Composer v2

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello! I use GUI Composer V2. I want to implement modbus protocol to my project. As GUI Composer uses JavaScript I have found Node JS module for modbus RTU/TCP protocol. As I understand GUI Composer uses its own server . Not Node js. Is it possible to implement NODE js scripts inside GUI Composer v2 ? May be there are some other ready to go realization of modbus protocol for GUI Composer ? Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Are you trying to use Modbus protocol over TCP or Serial? We currently don't have support for TCP transport, but it is on the roadmap.

There is no Modbus protocol support out of the box. However, you can provide a decoder in JavaScript within the GUI Composer App to interpret the data that are send over USB UART.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi, Patric. Yes it is possible to realize modbus (RTU) in JavaScript. But is it possible to use ready module from Node.js ? Will it be interact with GUI COMPOSER server correcntly?

Hi Michael,

It is technically possible, you will need to add the node module to the cloudagent. Unfortunately, we don't have documentation and external support. Additionally, it works for offline GUI Composer app only. If you want to explore this route, you will have to do something similar to the modules in this folder C:\Users\userid\TICloudAgent\src\modules; drop the node module to this folder and take a look at ti-service-serial.html file component for loading the serial module as an example.

Regards,
Patrick
