Learn to Use Modbus Communication Protocol

Modbus Communication Protocol History Initially, factories controlled systems through what was known as large microprocessor systems in “Distributed Control Systems” or “DCS”. A central control system managed the entire setup (in the control room). All sensors and actuators were connected to the control system via point-to-point wiring. Alternatively, they could be added in a network … Read more
