3. Modbus  is a serial communications protocol originally published by  Modicon  (now Schneider Electric) in 1979 for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Modbus has become a de facto standard communication protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. The main reasons for the use of Modbus in the industrial environment are: developed with industrial applications in mind, openly published and royalty-free, easy to deploy and maintain, moves raw bits or words without placing many restrictions on vendors. What is MODBUS?

4. Modbus is typically used to transmit signals from instrumentation and control devices back to a main controller or data gathering system for example a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a computer. Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Versions of the Modbus protocol exist for serial lines ( Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII) and for Ethernet ( Modbus TCP). What is it used for?

5. MODBUS serial lines and ethernet transmission :

6. 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.  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 per second). How does it work?

7. • MODBUS devices communicate using a master-slave technique in which only one device (the master) can initiate transactions (called queries). The other devices (slaves) respond by supplying the requested data to the master. A slave is any peripheral device (I/O transducer, valve, network or other measuring device), which processes information and sends its output to the master . Masters can address individual slaves, or can initiate a broadcast message to all slaves. Communication between MODBUS devices :

8. The messages exchanged between the master and the slave are called frames. There are two types of Modbus frames: Protocol Data Unit (PDU) and Application Data Unit (ADU). The PDU frames : function Code+ data. The ADU frames : Add+FC+data+Error check . The FC -> action to perform and the data -> information to be used for this action.   Modbus frames :

9. • Modbus transactions always perform a set of actions by reading or writing to a set of four data ,used by the Modbus application layer. Modbus Data Types :

10. A Master’s query will consist of a Slave address, a function code defining the requested action, any required data and an error-checking field. A Slave’s response consists of fields confirming the action taken, any data to be returned, and an error-checking field. QUERY :

11. The master can individually address and send message to each slave ( unicast model) or can send message to all slaves (broadcast model). Slaves respond to unicast messages but do not respond to broadcast messages. MODBUS supports 4 basic data types : analog inputs, analog outputs, digital inputs & digital outputs.

12. Transmission mode defines bit definitions of message bytes & method of packing & decoding the message information into message stream. 2 types of transmission modes for MODBUS communication : i ) ASCII transmission mode and ii) RTU transmission mode Different versions of Modbus used today include- MODBUS RTU (based on serial communication like RS485 & RS232), MODBUS ASCII MODBUS TCP, which is the MODBUS RTU Protocol embedded into TCIP packets. TRANSMISSION MODES :

13. When devices are set up to communicate on modbus serial line using ASCII mode. Each 8-bit byte in a message is sent as 2 ASCII characters. The main advantage is that it allows time intervals of up to 1 second to occur between characters without causing any error. Transmission speed : 300 KHZ – 800 GHZ. ASCII transmission mode:

14. Modbus RTU is a open or serial (RS-232 or RS-485)protocol. Modbus RTU messages are a simple 16-bit CRC(cyclic redundunt checksum). the main advantage of modbus RTU is the grater character density allows better data throughput than modbus ASCII for same baud rate. Transmission speed : 1MHZ – 1.5 GHZ. RTU transmission mode :
