@ESP_alisitsyn,
Any update on when this feature can make it into the MASTER tree?
I'm implementing a TCP modbus slave with a very sparse register map and it would save mamory to be able to have several areas of each type

@jas39_,
Unfortunately I can not provide the concrete date for this feature. It is in my todo list and will be implemented after higher priority tasks.

Could you tell me little bit more about your application? Is this Modbus master TCP or slave?

in my case it is a Modbus TCP slave (server).
The problem is, that the prepared library from esp-idf does not allow several areas of holding register areas.

My case is a modbus router rtu<->tcp (Rs485 master <-> Wifi Slave) with a sparse memorymap on the RS485 side and on top of that "double buffering" of tcp-write data which doubles the amount of registers needed.
Sofar I've solved the TCP slave part with a linked list of memory areas and wrapped it in my app so that I can reuse the same struct as for the master_serial. Keeping the external interface.
I now realize I have to provide both read and write pointers to mbc_tcp_slave extending the mb_register_area_descriptor_t , but I think I can still keep the external interface, well we see

Okay interesting.
Did you find any possibility or work around to make several address areas of holding registers for a Modbus TCP slave?
HREG area 1: 0-100
HREG area 2: 1000-1100
HREG area 3: 2000-2100
...

I had to extend the current implementation of mbc_serial_slave.c and mbc_tcp_slave.c by using a linked list of memory areas. It's a hack for now.

@jas39_, @dkaufmann,
If you are still interested in this feature (definition of several register areas for modbus slave), the feature will be completed soon but I need to perform testing. Before the official merge I would like you to test the patch for official code. Could you test it?
Thanks.

Hello, yes I am still interested and I would also test it. It might takes some time because at the moment my project works with esp-idf 4.0 so I need to change some things first to be compatible with esp-idf v4.3.
thanks for your update and let me know how I can test it.
