Learn to Use Modbus Communication Protocol

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
