Modbus Protocol

Modbus is a data communication protocol that is based on a request-response model. Previously referred to as a master-slave protocol, the Modbus organization replaced the terms master and slave with server and client in 2020.

Modbus is used for transmitting information between devices that are connected to buses or networks over serial lines or Ethernet and, increasingly, using wireless.

Modbus is the most widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing sector. The most common use case is the communication between a human-machine interface (HMI) or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and a sensor, programmable logic controller (PLC), or programmable automation controller (PAC). It provides a hardware-agnostic, cost-effective way to enable the interoperability of disparate automation equipment.

Modbus is popular because it is open source, simple to use, and used everywhere, making it a reliable solution for transferring discrete or analog I/O and register data between control devices.

Modbus is an application-layer messaging protocol, positioned at level 7 of the OSI model. The default port is 502 on a Modbus server device.



The first Modbus protocol – Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) – was originally published by Modicon (now Schneider Electric) systems in 1979 as a programming protocol for use with its PLCs. Modbus is an open protocol but the word "Modbus” is a registered trademark of Schneider Electric.

Modbus RTU is a simple serial communication protocol. Over time, there was a growing need for a standard that allowed more complex implementations using popular transport protocols like Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Developed in 1999, the Modbus variant addressed this need.

Web 3.0

HOME            UNIT 1               UNIT 2 IoT: A Web 3.0 View EVOLUTION OF THE WEB If it comes to pass, Web 3.0 will be the successor to two previous generations of the web. The first generation, referred to as Web 1.0, was invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist who applied the hypertext concepts for linking digital text proposed in 1963 by Ted Nelson , an American information technology pioneer. Besides programming the first browser, Berners-Lee wrote the Hypertext Markup Language ( HTML ), which tells browsers how to display content, as well as the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) specifying how web servers transfer files to browsers. He also started designing software for a "Semantic Web" that would link data across web pages, but hardware constraints prevented its implementation. The public was not much aware of the web until 1993 with the release of Mosaic, the first popular browser, later renamed Netscape Navigator. According to Harbo

Architecture of IOT

HOME                             UNIT - 1 Architecture of IOT  In simple terms, it is a process that consists of at least 4 stages or layers, which must work along to build the IoT architecture. So, the  architecture IoT  requires connected hardware (that gathers data), a mean of communication to transmit the data to or from a cloud, a system that allows to process all data, and a data center (which can work in the cloud or in a local server) that will allow to store, handle, and analyze the information provided. Types of layers of IoT architecture   Basic layers of IoT architecture The most common layers of Internet of Things architecture are 4, however, it doesn’t mean that every IoT device has the same amount, the minimum to guarantee a stable project is four layers, but depending on the complexity, an  IoT product development company  can decide to add more layers to the project. 1. Sensing layer: This layer of IoT architecture contains all the different devices and sensors that ar
