Start the LogicPython Modbus RTU slave worker using a pre-opened UART channel.

from cubloc import SetModbus
 
SetModbus(channel: int, 
    slaveAddress: int,
    coils: object,
    discreteInputs: object,
    inputRegisters: object,
    holdingRegisters: object,
    memoryLock: object,
    returnInterval: int = 0)

• channel: RS-232 channel number. OpenCom must already be called for this channel.
• slaveAddress: Modbus unit ID (1 to 247).
• coils: Writable bit-packed coil buffer (8 coils per byte).
• discreteInputs: Writable bit-packed discrete-input buffer (8 inputs per byte).
• inputRegisters: Writable input-register byte buffer (2 bytes per register).
• holdingRegisters: Writable holding-register byte buffer (2 bytes per register).
• memoryLock: User-created lock object passed through to logic_python.modbus.start_modbus.
• returnInterval: Non-blocking delay in microseconds before sending a response (default 0).

• TypeError: An argument has an invalid type.
• ValueError: slaveAddress is outside the supported range.
• RuntimeError: OpenCom has not been called for this channel or Modbus startup failed.
