# Arnold — Terminator I/O Server Fast-poll Modbus TCP server for AutomationDirect Terminator I/O systems. Reads all digital inputs at 20 Hz, exposes a REST API for signal state, and executes timed output sequences. ## Layout ``` server.py entrypoint — wires everything together config.yaml edit this to describe your hardware config_with_outputs.yaml example with input + output modules runs.log JSON-lines sequence run history (created at runtime) arnold/ config.py YAML loader, dataclasses, config validation terminator_io.py Terminator I/O driver: Modbus TCP, signal cache, poll thread sequencer.py Sequence execution engine api.py FastAPI REST application ``` ## Quick start ```bash pip3 install pymodbus fastapi uvicorn pyyaml --break-system-packages python3 server.py # uses config.yaml, port 8000 python3 server.py --config config_with_outputs.yaml --log-level debug ``` Interactive API docs: `http://:8000/docs` ## API | Method | Path | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | GET | `/status` | Device comms health, poll rates, active sequence | | GET | `/io` | All signal states (name → value/stale/updated_at) | | GET | `/io/{signal}` | Single signal with device/slot/point/modbus_address | | GET | `/sequences` | List sequences from config | | GET | `/sequences/{name}` | Sequence detail with step list | | POST | `/sequences/{name}/run` | Start a sequence → `{run_id}` (409 if one is running) | | GET | `/runs/{run_id}` | Run result: pending/running/success/failed/error | | GET | `/runs` | Recent run history (most recent first, `?limit=N`) | ## Config file ```yaml devices: - id: ebc100_main host: 192.168.3.202 port: 502 # default Modbus TCP port unit_id: 1 # EBC100 responds to any unit ID over TCP; use 1 poll_interval_ms: 50 modules: - slot: 1 type: T1H-08TDS # 8-pt 24VDC sinking input points: 8 - slot: 3 type: T1K-16TD2-1 # 16-pt sourcing output points: 16 logical_io: - name: sensor_a device: ebc100_main slot: 1 point: 1 direction: input - name: valve_1 device: ebc100_main slot: 3 point: 1 direction: output sequences: - name: actuate description: "Open valve, verify sensor, close valve" steps: - { t_ms: 0, action: set_output, signal: valve_1, state: true } - { t_ms: 500, action: check_input, signal: sensor_a, expected: true } - { t_ms: 1000, action: set_output, signal: valve_1, state: false } ``` **Timing:** `t_ms` is absolute from sequence T=0 (not relative delays). Steps are sorted by `t_ms` at load time; order in the file doesn't matter. Multiple steps with the same `t_ms` execute in file order. **Failure:** a failed `check_input` aborts the sequence immediately. Remaining steps — including output resets — are skipped. Add an explicit reset sequence (`all_outputs_off`) and call it after a failure. ## Supported module types | Type | Direction | Points | |------|-----------|--------| | T1H-08TDS, T1K-08TDS | input | 8 | | T1H-08ND3, T1K-08ND3 | input | 8 | | T1H-16ND3, T1K-16ND3 | input | 16 | | T1H-08NA, T1K-08NA | input | 8 | | T1H-08TD1, T1K-08TD1 | output | 8 | | T1H-08TD2, T1K-08TD2 | output | 8 | | T1H-16TD1, T1K-16TD1 | output | 16 | | T1H-16TD2, T1K-16TD2, T1K-16TD2-1 | output | 16 | | T1H-08TA, T1K-08TA | output | 8 | | T1H-08TRS, T1K-08TRS | output | 8 | ## T1H-EBC100 hardware quirks ### Unified coil address space The EBC100 maps **all modules — inputs and outputs — into a single flat address space** ordered by physical slot number. There is no separate "input base address" and "output base address". Example: slot 1 = 8-pt input, slot 2 = 8-pt input, slot 3 = 16-pt output: | Slot | Module | Points | Coil addresses | |------|--------|--------|----------------| | 1 | T1H-08TDS (input) | 8 | 0–7 | | 2 | T1H-08TDS (input) | 8 | 8–15 | | 3 | T1K-16TD2-1 (output) | 16 | **16–31** | FC05/FC15 output writes must use these unified addresses. The config loader computes `modbus_address` for every module and signal automatically — you never write raw addresses in YAML. ### FC02 input reads start at address 0 FC02 (read discrete inputs) returns only input bits, starting at bit index 0, regardless of where inputs sit in the unified space. The poll thread reads `total_input_points` bits from FC02 address 0. Because `modbus_address` for input signals equals their FC02 bit index (inputs occupy the lowest slots in practice), no remapping is needed. ### No exception on out-of-range addresses The EBC100 returns zeros for any FC02 read address beyond the installed modules — it never raises Modbus exception code 2 (illegal data address). Module presence **cannot** be auto-detected from protocol errors. The `modules` list in the config is authoritative. ### FC05 write echo `write_coil` (FC05) echoes back `True` for any address, even unmapped ones. There is no error feedback for writes to non-existent output points. Config validation at startup prevents invalid addresses from being used. ### Unit ID is ignored The EBC100 accepts and echoes back any Modbus unit/slave ID over TCP. Set `unit_id: 1` in the config (standard default). ### No unsolicited push Modbus TCP is a strictly polled protocol; the EBC100 has no push capability. The server polls at `poll_interval_ms` (default 50 ms = 20 Hz). At 24 input points a single FC02 read takes ~1 ms on a local network. ### Web interface The EBC100 hosts a minimal HTTP server on port 80 (firmware by Host Engineering). It exposes IP/subnet/gateway config and serial port mode only — no I/O data. Port 443, 503, and 8080 are closed. UDP port 502 is not active.
