Description

When trying to read a file using the ReadFileRecordRequest (Function code 20), the pymodbus.transaction transitions from WAITING FOR REPLY to PROCESSING REPLY before all of the response has been received. This results in the client application receiving many "Modbus Error: [Input/Output] No Response received from the remote unit/Unable to decode response". The application must continue the retry roulette until it receives a complete record response.

One problem is that there is no get_response_pdu_size() member defined for ReadFileRecordRequest.

             rec = FileRecord(reference_type=self.REFERENCE_TYPE, file_number=file_number, record_number=(i*RECORD_LENGTH), record_length=rec_len)
            records.append(rec)

            request = ReadFileRecordRequest(records=records, unit=self.slave_unit)
            response = self.client.execute(request)
