How We Can Convert Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP

In industrial automation, Modbus is one of the most common communication protocols used to connect devices such as sensors, controllers, meters, and SCADA systems.Over the years, two major versions of Modbus have been developed — Modbus RTU, which communicates over serial lines, and Modbus TCP, which communicates over Ethernet. As technology evolves, many industries face the challenge of… Read More »

Modbus RTU vs Modbus TCP/IP — Frame Structure and Key Differences

Modbus is one of the most widely used communication protocols in industrial automation and control systems. Originally designed for serial networks, Modbus evolved to work seamlessly over Ethernet and IP networks, creating two common variants — Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP. Although both use the same core data model and function codes, they differ in frame structure, transmission… Read More »
