RS485 and MODBUS communication are commonly used concepts in industrial control systems, but they are different. Below is a brief introduction. RS485 is a physical interface, simply put, it is hardware. MODBUS is an internationally standardized communication protocol used for device data exchange between different manufacturers (generally for industrial purposes); in industrial environments, data is … Read more
1. Introduction The HMI (Human-Machine Interface) is increasingly used in industrial automation systems and devices due to its small size, high performance, and strong real-time capabilities. It features various displays such as letters, Chinese characters, graphics, and images, with a simple and user-friendly interface. Equipped with long-lasting membrane button keyboards, it is easy to operate. … 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

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
When it comes to communication, many people find it difficult and feel lost. I had the same feeling when I first encountered communication concepts. I gathered a lot of materials, mostly theoretical, and it always felt like I had no starting point. After finally understanding it, I realized that the main reason for not grasping … Read more
