Imagine a DC power supply with an output socket that has three pins: positive, negative, and ground. Correspondingly, the load’s plug should also have three pins that match the power supply side, allowing for correct energy supply. Note that there are three essential conditions to meet: The first is that the shape, size, and pin … Read more

1. Overview of MODBUS Communication The MODBUS protocol consists of MODBUS protocol over serial links and MODBUS protocol based on TCP/IP. The serial link MODBUS protocol includes MODBUS ASCII (string) and MODBUS RTU. The MODBUS protocol library provided by 200SMART supports MODBUS RTU communication. MODBUS RTU sends data in hexadecimal values. MODBUS ASCII sends data … Read more
Modbus Simulation – Essential Skills for Beginners In the field of industrial automation, we often encounter various communication protocols, such as Profibus, ControlNet, Ethernet, Canopen, and Modbus. Among these, the Modbus protocol is the most widely used, free, and open-source, and is supported by almost all manufacturers’ industrial equipment. When working on engineering projects, we … Read more

Search WeChat Technical Training Introduction Modbus was developed by MODICON in 1979 and is a standard for industrial fieldbus protocols. In 1996, Schneider Electric launched the Modbus protocol based on Ethernet TCP/IP: ModbusTCP. The Modbus protocol is an application layer messaging protocol that includes three types of messages: ASCII, RTU, and TCP. The standard Modbus … Read more
Search on WeChat Technical Training 1. What is MODBUS? 1. Basic Concepts MODBUS is a communication protocol initially advocated by MODICON (now a brand of Schneider Electric). It has gradually been recognized as a standard communication protocol through practical applications by most companies. As long as data communication or transmission follows this protocol, different systems … Read more
Now, let’s explain the application of MODBUS. Currently, most industrial control communication between the upper computer and the lower computer uses the communication protocol MODBUS. It is easy to imagine the importance of communication between machines. 1. MODBUS System Framework Diagram 2. Application of MODBUS The underlying communication of MODBUS uses RS485 signals connected via … Read more
Editor’s Note: Currently, the security issues of IoT devices are mainly limited by hardware and software. Often, if the configuration does not keep up, even if developers want to address security issues, they may feel powerless. On the software level, the built-in protection mechanisms of the system are particularly critical, especially permission-based protections. We know … Read more
