Thanks a lot !

But could we have an example of use ?
Because I need to communicate by rs485 with the DH-Robotics gripper and I would like to send him this data “01 06 01 03 01 F4 78 21” so I convert it to decimal, but it’s then too long for an int.

Hi @sam67500du

I have updated the readme with a sample for the OnRobot VGP20.

I am not able to access the reference for the DH Robotics gripper. But the datastream could look like a write to register 0x0301 with the value 0xF401.
If that is the case your URScript sample would look like this:

init_tool_modbus(1)
tool_modbus_write(769, 62465)  #(0x0301, 0xF401)

Hello,

Thank you for your answer and example.
I have another question, does it work with usb port ? Because I’m using an rs485 / usb converter for the gripper.
Or it only works with the rs485 port located on the robot head ? I should have made it clear from the start sorry.

Not out of the box. But in the Python Daemon source code you can change the ‘/dev/ttyTool’ to your USB dongle. That should do the job.
