MODBUS

Modbus is a communication protocol used to transmit information between electronic devices over serial lines. It allows a master device to request information from slave devices. There can be one master and up to 247 slave devices each with a unique address. Modbus is commonly used to transmit signals from instrumentation and control devices back to a main controller. It works by transmitting data as a series of bits representing ones and zeros at transmission speeds like 9600 baud. Types of Modbus include TCP/IP, RTU, ASCII, JBUS, and Modbus Plus. Advantages include simplicity, use of standard Ethernet, being open and free, and compatibility with many available Modbus compatible devices.

• Modbus is a communication protocol
developed by Modicon systems. In simple
terms, it is a method used for transmitting
What is MODBUS? information over serial lines between
electronic devices.
• The device requesting the information is
called the Modbus Master and the devices
supplying information are Modbus Slaves.
In a standard Modbus network, there is
one Master and up to 247 Slaves, each
with a unique Slave Address from 1 to 247.

Modbus is an open protocol,
meaning that it's free for
manufacturers to build into their
What is used for? equipment without having to pay
royalties. It has become a very
common protocol used widely by
many manufacturers throughout
many industries. Modbus is typically
used to transmit signals from
instrumentation and control devices
back to a main controller or data
gathering system. 4

Modbus is transmitted over serial lines between devices.
The simplest setup would be a single serial cable
connecting the serial ports on two devices, a Master and
a Slave.
How Does it Work?

The data is sent as series of ones and zeroes called bits.


Each bit is sent as a voltage. Zeroes are sent as positive
voltages and a ones as negative. The bits are sent very
quickly. A typical transmission speed is 9600 baud (bits 6
per second).
Modbus TCP/IP - classic Ethernet TCP/IP with
the 10/100 Mbit/s speed rate.
Modbus RTU - serial binary protocol of
Types of MODBUS the Master/Slave type
Modbus ASCII - serial ASCII protocol of
the Master/Slave type
JBUS - limited set of communication
messages of the Modbus RTU type
MODBUS PLUS - deterministic token LAN,
peer-to-peer protocol, 1Mbit/s.

•Simplicity: It simply takes the Modbus instruction
set and wraps TCP/IP around it.
Advantage of •Standard Ethernet: There are no exotic chipsets
MODBUS required and you can use standard PC Ethernet
cards to talk to your newly implemented device.

•Open: The specification is available free of charge


for download, and there are no subsequent
licensing fees required for using Modbus or Modbus
TCP/IP protocols.

•Availability of many devices: Interoperability


among different vendors' devices and compatibility
with a large installed base of Modbus-compatible
devices makes Modbus an excellent choice. 8
