What is Modbus Modbus is a serial communication protocol originally developed by Modicon (now Schneider Electric) in 1979 for communication between programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The Modbus protocol is designed to be simple, easy to deploy and maintain, and due to its openness and lack of copyright requirements, it is widely used in the industrial … Read more
Contemporary philosopher J.E. Dinger once said, “Fate is not a matter of chance, but of choice.” For Chinese enterprises in the context of the high integration of global manufacturing and information technology, choosing a communication technology that is easy to implement, high-performance, quick to respond, and low-cost has become crucial in determining a company’s fate. … Read more
Exciting content The various “Industry 4.0” application cases boasted by domestic media do not show any substantial innovation compared to the theory mentioned in the 1993 book “Mass Customization: The New Frontier of Competitive Advantage” and do not go beyond the scope of CIMS and the integration of IT and industrialization. What is the essence … Read more
Industrial software refers to software specifically designed for the industrial sector, including systems, applications, middleware, and embedded software. Industrial software is generally divided into two types: embedded software and non-embedded software. Embedded software is integrated into controllers, communication devices, and sensors for data collection, control, and communication, while non-embedded software is installed on general-purpose computers … Read more

In traditional industrial enterprises, a large number of legacy information systems and industrial equipment remain, where the methods of information collection, communication patterns, data formats, and operating systems are often not unified. The underlying information technologies they employ may vary significantly. In Industry 4.0, the most critical task is to introduce Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) to … Read more
Industry 4.0 applications generate vast amounts of complex data—big data. With an increasing number of sensors and available data sources, there is often a demand for more detailed virtual views of machines, systems, and processes. This naturally increases the potential for added value along the entire value chain. However, questions about how to mine this … Read more
This article is from the August 2016 issue of “Control Engineering China” magazine, originally titled: Is the Next Imagination Space for Machine Vision Embedded? After years of accumulation, machine vision technology may be facing a golden development period. Once costs decrease, performance improves, and applications increase, just like the transformation brought by the popularity of … Read more
