Modbus Notes

Modbus TCP / RTU integration

Since its inception in 1979 Modbus has become a widely used communication protocol in the field of industrial automation. Originally based on serial interfaces (RS232 and RS485) Modbus RTU enjoys widespread use throughout many different industries. Since then Ethernet has become the network of choice and many industrial devices now have native Ethernet interfaces.
