Telegraf modbus plugin serial port connection problem

Hello.

I’m test telegraf with modbus rtu in windows.
but there is error code in windows command.
usb port number is com7.

error message
2021-10-21T06:04:20Z E! [inputs.modbus] Error in plugin: The system cannot find the path specified.

This is modbus.conf

[[inputs.modbus]]
name = “witmotion”
slave_id = 80
timeout = “1s”
controller = “file:///dev/ttyUSB07”
baud_rate = 9600
data_bits = 8
parity = “N”
stop_bits = 1
transmission_mode = “RTU”
holding_registers = [
{ name = “angle_x”, byte_order = “AB”, data_type = “UINT16”, scale=0.1, address = [61]},
{ name = “angle_y”, byte_order = “AB”, data_type = “UINT16”, scale=0.1, address = [62]},
{ name = “angle_z”, byte_order = “AB”, data_type = “UINT16”, scale=0.1, address = [63]},
{ name = “temperature”, byte_order = “AB”, data_type = “UINT16”, scale=0.01, address = [64]},
]

In windows the COM-Ports are named differently. In your example you do have a Unix/Linux path. Maybe try controller = “file:///com7"?

It was solved thanks to you.

@ahsjdkfl what was the path you used in Windows to solve this problem?
thanks

Hi,

I think the problem must come from the path to COM12 but I don’t know what to write ?

Thank you

Hi, I’m trying to use Modbus RTU over serial using windows and I’m having the exact same issue. Has anyone been able to resolve this yet?

Can you please test the binary in PR #12339 or a recent nightly build!?
