	Modbus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modbus allows for communication between many devices connected to the same network, for example a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a computer.
		Modbus RTU is a compact, binary representation of the data.
		Modbus is restricted to addressing 254 devices on one data link, which limits the number of field devices that may be connected to a master station.

		Modbus Protocol is a messaging structure developed by Modicon in 1979, used to establish master-slave/client-server communication between intelligent devices.
		Modbus is a de facto standard, truly open and the most widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment.
		Modbus is an application layer messaging protocol, positioned at level 7 of the OSI model that provides client/server communication between devices connected on different types of buses or networks.

	Modbus protocol, specifications and in depth tutorial
		Modbus has its roots in the late seventies of the previous century.
		The original Modbus interface ran on RS-232, but most later Modbus implementations used RS-485 because it allowed longer distances, higher speeds and the possibility of a true multi-drop network.
		Modbus messages on serial connections are not sent in a plain format.

		Modbus is an industrial protocol standard that has been in use for many years.
		Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU are relatively simple serial protocols that use EIA-232 or EIA-485 to transmit data packets.
		Modbus protocol is defined as a master/slave protocol, meaning a device operating as a master will poll one or more devices operating as a slave.

	Regarding Modbus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Modbus ASCII format is convenient to use over a Modem because there is no guarantee that the entire Modbus packet will be send as a single Modem packet.
		Modbus ASCII format is also handy to use under Windows NT where it is near impossible to get the hardware when you need it.
		I'm implementing Modbus in the jModbus project (http://jmodbus.sourceforge.net) and under the java comm API this is quite difficult.

	Modbus FAQ \| PLCdev
		MODBUS is a common means of gathering data from many different sources for viewing operations, archiving and troubleshooting from a central remote location.
		Modbus protocol establishes the format for the master's query by placing into it the device (or broadcast) address, a function code defining the requested action, any data to be sent, and an error-checking field.
		The only cable required to test MODBUS is a three conductor, wired to one end with a standard 9 pin connector for the computer com port and the other end loose to tie into the customer interface terminalsThe 9 pin terminal 2 is Rx, terminal 3 is Tx, and 5 is GND (or Common).

	ProtoCessor - RTU Protocol Overview
		Modbus RTU is an open, serial (RS-232 or RS-485) protocol based on master/slave or client/server architecture.
		The simplicity of Modbus RTU messages is a mixed blessing; on the one hand, the simple message structure ensures widespread, rapid and accurate implementation, but on the other hand, various companies have corrupted the basic 16-bit Modbus RTU register structure to pack in floating point, queues, ASCII text, tables and other types of non-Modbus data.
		Modbus RTU can also be multi-dropped, or in other words, multiple slave devices can exist on one Modbus RTU network, assuming that the physical layer allows this, usually via the use of RS-485, modems or radio.

	Modbus RTU FieldServer Driver
		Modbus defines a message structure that controllers will recognize and use, regardless of the type of networks over which they communicate.
		Modbus describes the process a controller uses to request access to another device, how it will respond to requests from the other devices, and how errors will be detected and reported.
		During communications on a Modbus network, the protocol determines how each controller will know its device address, recognize a message addressed to it, determine the kind of action to be taken, and extract any data or other information contained in the message.
