ModBus network is an industrial communication system formed by connecting programmable controllers with intelligent terminals and computers through public or local dedicated lines. Its system structure includes both hardware and software. It can be applied to various data acquisition and process monitoring. The ModBus network has only one master, and all communication is initiated by … Read more
The Modbus protocol is arguably the most widely used communication protocol in the field of industrial automation. Its openness, scalability, and standardization make it a universal industrial standard. With it, products from different manufacturers can be easily and reliably connected to the network, achieving centralized monitoring and decentralized control functions. Currently, the Modbus specifications mainly … Read more
11.7 Modbus TCP Programming and Experimentation This course does not support sensors that use the Modbus TCP protocol, so we will write two programs: ① modbus_server_tcp.c: Simulate a Modbus TCP sensor ② modbus_client_tcp.c: Operate the sensor The program structure is shown in the figure below: No special connections are required on the hardware. The source … Read more
-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
-Begin- Introduction Hello everyone Recently, the software resource library has been reorganized, adding some commonly used software, totaling about 180 software. The software database is divided into five categories, corresponding to five areas: Development Software, Office Software, Industrial Control Software, Machine Vision, and Technical Articles. Each area is assigned a code, which are Zone 0, … Read more
To communicate with other devices in a PLC, the MODBUS function library is definitely the most commonly used. Let me share my experiences and some tips from my work~ As the “universal solution” in the field of industrial automation, the MODBUS library allows our PLC to communicate with other devices that support the MODBUS protocol. … Read more
Industrial Automation Group Knowledge sharing and mutual assistance Join Now When we talk about the communication protocols between automation devices (such as PLCs, temperature controllers, etc.) and computers, ModBus is a widely used communication protocol. ModBus supports various communication methods, including ModBus RTU, ModBus ASCII, and ModBus TCP. Each communication method has its unique characteristics … Read more
What is Modbus? As the name suggests, it is a bus protocol. For example, serial port protocols, IIC protocols, and SPI are all communication protocols. If you are familiar with such protocols, it is likely that you are in the industrial sector or your product is used in industrial applications. What is Modbus Used For? … Read more
Modbus is widely used due to its advantages The Modbus protocol is standard, open, publicly available, and has no copyright requirements The Modbus protocol supports various electrical interfaces, including RS232, RS485, TCP/IP, and can transmit over various media such as twisted pair, fiber optics, infrared, and wireless The Modbus protocol message frame format is simple, … Read more
