[AVR] Problem in MODBUS RTU communication between two arduino's

[Prayuktibid]

I am doing a project to communicate between two arduino's using MODBUS RTU protocol. I have set One arduino as Master and Other as Slave. slave arduino connected with a potential meter to read the value analog value and store in the holding register of it. Master Arduino connected with a LED , Master read the Holding register value from Slave arduino and send PWM signal to LED according to analog value which is stored in Holding Register also show in the LCD screen. I am doing simulation on Proteous and the schematic is ..
I am using <SimpleModbusMaster.h> and <SimpleModbusSlave.h> for Master and Slave respectevely.

Code for Master

#include <SimpleModbusMaster.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>


/*
   The example will use packet1 to read a register from address 0 (the adc ch0 value)
   from the arduino slave (id=1). It will then use this value to adjust the brightness
   of an led on pin 9 using PWM.
   It will then use packet2 to write a register (its own adc ch0 value) to address 1 
   on the arduino slave (id=1) adjusting the brightness of an led on pin 9 using PWM.

// Create an array of Packets to be configured
Packet packets[TOTAL_NO_OF_PACKETS];

// Masters register array
unsigned int regs[TOTAL_NO_OF_REGISTERS];

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  // Initialize each packet
  modbus_construct(&packets[PACKET1], 1, READ_HOLDING_REGISTERS, 0, 1, 0); //(packet,SlaveId,Function,holdingregAdress,data,locanstartadress)

  modbus_configure(&Serial, baud, SERIAL_8N2, timeout, polling, retry_count, TxEnablePin, packets, TOTAL_NO_OF_PACKETS, regs);

  pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
  lcd.print("MODBUS RTU");
  modbus_update();
  //regs[1] = analogRead(A0); // update data to be written to arduino slave

  analogWrite(LED, regs[0]/4);// constrain adc value from the arduino slave to 255
  lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
  lcd.print(regs[0]);
}

and The Slave Code

#include <SimpleModbusSlave.h>

    /* 
       SimpleModbusSlaveV10 supports function 3, 6 & 16.

       This example code will receive the adc ch0 value from the arduino master. 
       It will then use this value to adjust the brightness of the led on pin 9.
       The value received from the master will be stored in address 1 in its own
       address space namely holdingRegs[].

       In addition to this the slaves own adc ch0 value will be stored in 
       address 0 in its own address space holdingRegs[] for the master to
       be read. The master will use this value to alter the brightness of its
       own led connected to pin 9.

       The modbus_update() method updates the holdingRegs register array and checks
       communication.

       Note:  
       The Arduino serial ring buffer is 64 bytes or 32 registers.
       Most of the time you will connect the arduino to a master via serial
       using a MAX485 or similar.

       In a function 3 request the master will attempt to read from your
       slave and since 5 bytes is already used for ID, FUNCTION, NO OF BYTES
       and two BYTES CRC the master can only request 58 bytes or 29 registers.

       In a function 16 request the master will attempt to write to your 
       slave and since a 9 bytes is already used for ID, FUNCTION, ADDRESS, 
       NO OF REGISTERS, NO OF BYTES and two BYTES CRC the master can only write
       54 bytes or 27 registers.

       Using a USB to Serial converter the maximum bytes you can send is 
       limited to its internal buffer which differs between manufactures.

    //#define  LED 3

    // Using the enum instruction allows for an easy method for adding and 
    // removing registers. Doing it this way saves you #defining the size 
    // of your slaves register array each time you want to add more registers
    // and at a glimpse informs you of your slaves register layout.

         SERIAL_8O1: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 Odd parity bit, 1 stop bit

         You can obviously use SERIAL_8N1 but this does not adhere to the
         Modbus specifications. That said, I have tested the SERIAL_8N1 option 
         on various commercial masters and slaves that were suppose to adhere
         to this specification and was always able to communicate... Go figure.

         These byte formats are already defined in the Arduino global name space.

      modbus_configure(&Serial, 115200, SERIAL_8N2,SlaveID, TxEnablePin , 1, holdingRegs);

      // modbus_update_comms(baud, byteFormat, id) is not needed but allows for easy update of the
      // port variables and slave id dynamically in any function.

    void loop()
    {
      // modbus_update() is the only method used in loop(). It returns the total error
      // count since the slave started. You don't have to use it but it's useful
      // for fault finding by the modbus master.

      modbus_update();

      holdingRegs[0] = analogRead(A0); // update data to be read by the master to adjust the PWM

      //analogWrite(LED, holdingRegs[1]/4); // constrain adc value from the arduino master to 255

      /* Note:
         The use of the enum instruction is not needed. You could set a maximum allowable
         size for holdinRegs[] by defining HOLDING_REGS_SIZE using a constant and then access 
         holdingRegs[] by "Index" addressing. 
         I.e.
         holdingRegs[0] = analogRead(A0);
         analogWrite(LED, holdingRegs[1]/4);
      */

    }

When I simulate it on Proteus It does not giving me any result. I am changing the potential meter but I am getting anything LCD screen showing 0 always and LED is OFF. That's mean two arduino is not communicating properly. Is anybody can tell how I can Solve my problem then It will be very Helpful to me.

Hi,

what did you do to debug the system?
What are the Rx and Tx signals?

I didn't debug this system
