RS485 and Modbus Communication Protocol

RS485 and Modbus Communication Protocol

In industrial control, power communication, and smart instrumentation, data exchange often relies on serial communication. Initially, the RS232 interface was the mainstream choice; however, due to the complexity of industrial sites, various electrical devices generate electromagnetic interference that can lead to signal transmission errors. In 1979, Schneider Electric designed and launched a bus protocol specifically … Read more
