Using
MODBUS for Process Control and Automation - MODBUS
is the most popular industrial protocol being used today, for good reasons. It
is simple, inexpensive, universal and easy to use. Even though MODBUS has been
around for nearly 30 years, almost all major industrial instrumentation and
automation equipment vendors continue to support it in new products. This white
paper discusses how MODBUS works and a few clever ways it can be used in new and
legacy plants.

Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide - This guide is written for the person who will use Modicon Modbus protocols and messages for communication in Modicon programmable controller applications. It describes how messages are constructed, and how transactions take place using Modbus protocol. This guide should be used in conjunction with Modicon user guides for the types of networks and programmable controllers present in the application. Familiarity with your network layout, and with your control application, is assumed -from eecs.
