Consider a DC power supply with an output socket interface that has three pins: positive, negative, and ground. Accordingly, the load’s plug should also have three pins corresponding to the power side to correctly obtain power supply. Note that there are three essential conditions that must be met: The first is that the shape, size, … Read more
Search on WeChat Technical Training Modbus is a serial communication protocol invented by Modicon for communication between PLCs and hosts. Its physical layer uses asynchronous serial standards such as RS232 and RS485. Due to its openness, it has been adopted by numerous PLC and RTU manufacturers. The Modbus communication method adopts a master-slave query-response mechanism, … Read more
Search on WeChat Technical Training In 1979, Schneider Electric established the Modbus protocol, a bus protocol used for industrial sites. Many industrial applications using RS485 communication adopt the Modbus protocol, so today we will explore RS485 communication and the Modbus communication protocol. 【1】/ Introduction In industrial control, power communication, and intelligent instruments, serial communication is … Read more

The Modbus RTU communication protocol uses a master-slave response method for data communication. Requests can only be initiated by the master (PC, HMI, etc.) through a unique slave address, and the slave (terminal device) responds to the master’s requests, thus enabling half-duplex communication. This protocol only allows the master to initiate requests, and the slave … Read more
Before we start this topic, we should understand a commonly confused issue. The difference between RS485 and MODBUS: RS485 is a physical interface, simply put, it is hardware. MODBUS is an internationally standardized communication protocol used for data exchange between devices from different manufacturers (generally for industrial purposes); the so-called protocol can also be understood … Read more
Introduction In 1979, Schneider Electric established the Modbus protocol, a bus protocol for industrial sites. Today, many industrial applications using RS485 communication adopt the Modbus protocol. So today we will learn about RS485 communication and the Modbus communication protocol. 1 Preface In fields such as industrial control, power communication, and intelligent instrumentation, serial communication is … Read more
This article aims to give you a clear understanding of Modbus, summarizing related knowledge about Modbus, which is very suitable for beginners. If there are any errors, suggestions and modifications are welcome. What Is a Protocol? Before understanding what Modbus is, let’s first look at what a protocol is. A protocol is a Chinese term, … 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
