Modbus TCP
Modbus TCP is an industrial communication protocol based on the TCP/IP protocol that communicates according to an Ethernet network. This protocol has the following characteristics:
1. Network communication: Modbus TCP is suitable for network communication environment, which can realize data transmission and control between devices on LAN or LAN. Connect the devices according to the specification Ethernet wire to complete the real-time monitoring between the devices.
2. Flexibility and reliability: According to TCP/IP protocol, Modbus TCP has high flexibility and reliability. It can work in complex network topology, and also supports large-scale machine connection and communication.
3. Real-time monitoring and control: It is suitable for the application scenarios that require real-time monitoring and control, such as remote equipment management and data transmission in industrial control automation technology. Based on Modbus TCP, engineers can monitor the system status and perform operations from remote locations.
Modbus RTU
Modbus RTU is an industrial communication protocol based on serial port communication, usually using RS-485 or RS-232 serial port for physical connection. Its functions are as follows:
1. Serial communication: Modbus RTU is suitable for serial communication environment, which is suitable for data transmission and control among field devices. It is usually used in industrial field environments, such as controlling the operating status of equipment or devices.
2. Transmission rate: Due to the serial communication method, Modbus RTU has a high transmission rate and is suitable for scenarios that require high communication rate. This gives it an advantage in peer control and monitoring applications.
3. Stability and anti-interference: In the industrial field environment, Modbus RTU communication is stable and adaptable to remote communication and noise interference. This makes him in the industrial environment has a better anti-interference.
