Modbus Protocol Illustration Modbus Protocol Communication Modbus TCP is a communication protocol that uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) to enable communication between devices over Ethernet networks. It is a variation of the original Modbus serial protocol, which was designed for serial communication between devices.  Modbus Serial is a communication protocol that uses serial communication to enable communication between devices. It is one of the most widely used protocols in industrial automation and control systems. When it comes to choosing a network for your device, Modbus TCP/IP offers several significant advantages: Simplicity: Modbus TCP/IP simply takes the Modbus instruction set and wraps TCP/IP around it. Simplicity Modbus TCP/IP If you already have a Modbus driver and you understand Ethernet and TCP/IP sockets, you can have a driver up and running and talking to a PC in a few hours. Development costs are exceptionally low. Minimum hard
