Modbus register filtering

I would like to find a way to filter specific Modbus register number out of a capng capture. For example there is a register which reads the asset frequency at register 39 Function code 4. Is there a filter command in WS which will filter just this one register? Thanks, Don

There is a capture attached to 13734: Modbus dissector - FC2 Response reference number which uses FC 3. Have not found an example with FC 4.

(modbus.func_code == 3) && (modbus.regnum16 == 4)

Looks like you need to know if the register is a modbus.regnum16 or modbus.regnum32 field.
Or brute force it:
(modbus.func_code == 3) && ((modbus.regnum16 == 4) or (modbus.regnum32 == 4))

Hi ChuckC,

This is a great step and I was able to filter on FC 4. The next step would be to filter on a particular register. In this case register 39.

 I tried (modbus.regval_int16 == 39) but that yielded no values. Any suggestions on filtering on a specific register number?

Thanks so much,

    Don

Did you try with the regnum fields instead of the regval ones?

Hi ChuckC,

Indeed using the modbus.regnum16 worked great! Thanks so much for your help as I can now do much more capable work with WS.

 Have a great week,

        Don
