Why Do We Need to Write HTTP Before Entering a URL?

Why Do We Need to Write HTTP Before Entering a URL?

HTTP, or HyperText Transport Protocol, is a network technology that defines the communication between browsers and servers. It operates at the application layer and uses TCP port 80 to provide services. Hypertext is a type of text that links text, images, videos, and other multimedia content together. It not only includes textual content but also … Read more

What is Modbus? Understanding It Clearly to Avoid Pitfalls Next Time

What is Modbus? Understanding It Clearly to Avoid Pitfalls Next Time

What is Modbus? Understanding It Clearly to Avoid Pitfalls Next Time Last night, a junior was debugging the RS-485 bus, and the slave device just wouldn’t respond. After capturing the data, I found: the CRC low byte was reversed! Not fully grasping the Modbus frame format meant that 1 byte error = total failure. Today, … Read more

Data Storage Order in Modbus Protocol

Data Storage Order in Modbus Protocol

The Modbus protocol specifies the use of big-endian byte order at the byte level. However, for data types larger than 16 bits (i.e., 2 bytes) such as 32-bit floating-point numbers and 32-bit integers, the protocol does not define the order of words, leading to different implementations by various device manufacturers. Here is a detailed explanation: … Read more
