Endianess for ModbusTcpServer
See original GitHub issueI have seen that the ModbusTcpServer checks if we have Little or Big-Endian. My system (Linux ARM32) is Little-Endian. When I check the data (with ModbusPoll) - it is not reversed.
For example:
Span<short> inputreg = server.GetInputRegisterBuffer<short>();
inputreg[0] = 1;
In ModbusPoll I got “256” (0x0100), I expected “1” (0x0001).
It was possible that I manually reverse my data before with ModbusUtils.SwitchEndianness()
, but I was wondering if there is a cleaner solution for it.
With the client I was able to receive the data in the correct endianess:
client.Connect(IPAddress.Parse("1.2.3.4"), ModbusEndianness.BigEndian);
It would be great if someone could help me, or tell me if it makes sense to reverse every single value before.

Yes the content is returned without changes. The check in the extension method will be lightweight, so you should not notice any performance impact.
Start offset: If you set the 8 byte double value to buffer[1], it would be located at byte positions 8-15 which is equal to Modbus registers 4-7 (with 2 bytes per Modbus register). But if you want to have it located at Modbus registers 1-5, you need a way to specify a start offset (in bytes).
Since everything is clear for me now, I will prepare a draft and hopefully finish it on Monday.
Sounds good, I think this is a good solution. Thanks a lot!
