Understanding Modbus Protocol: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding Modbus Protocol: A Comprehensive Guide

-Begin- Basic Knowledge of Modbus The Modbus communication protocol was published by Modicon (now Schneider Electric) in 1979 for communication with programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Today, Modbus has become the industry standard for communication protocols in the industrial field and is commonly used for connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus, being the most widely used protocol … Read more

Detailed Analysis of ModbusTCP Protocol Messages

Detailed Analysis of ModbusTCP Protocol Messages

-Begin- ModbusTCP Protocol Analysis ModbusTCP has the same message format as ModbusUDP; the difference between them is essentially the difference between TCP and UDP. Therefore, we will analyze the ModbusTCP protocol below. The differences between ModbusTCP and ModbusRtu (ModbusASCII) are shown in the figure below: As can be seen from the figure above, ModbusTCP, based … Read more
