MODBUS COMMUNICATIONS

The Modbus protocol specification can be downloaded from
www.modbus.org. The following is a brief description of Modbus protocol
taken from the same website:

“Modbus is an application-layer messaging protocol, positioned at level 7
of the OSI model. It provides client/server communication between
devices connected on different types of buses or networks.

The de facto industrial serial standard since 1979, Modbus continues to
enable millions of automation devices to communicate. Today, support for
the simple and elegant structure of Modbus continues to grow. The
Internet community can access Modbus at a reserved system port 502 on
the TCP/IP stack.

Modbus is a request/reply protocol and offers services specified by
function codes. Modbus function codes are elements of Modbus
request/reply PDUs. This protocol specification document describes the
function codes used within the framework of Modbus transactions.”
