한눈에 보기

Modbus is the industry standard protocol for industrial equipment communication. It defines how devices (sensors, pumps, PLCs) exchange data over networks. Modbus TCP runs on Ethernet; Modbus RTU runs over serial. Engineers implementing Modbus integrate legacy industrial equipment with modern systems. Salary impact varies; senior Modbus specialists in industrial settings earn 20-30% premium. Mastery takes 4-6 weeks.

Modbus Communication이란

Modbus is an industrial communication protocol for reading and writing data from devices (sensors, motors, pumps, programmable logic controllers). It defines how devices send and receive messages over networks. Two flavors: Modbus TCP (over Ethernet, IP networks, modern) and Modbus RTU (over serial RS-485, legacy but widespread). Both work the same way, client reads/writes 16-bit registers on a server device.

❓ 자주 묻는 질문

What's the difference between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU?

Modbus TCP runs over Ethernet (IP networks), modern. Modbus RTU runs over serial (RS-485), older but still common. Both use same data model (registers, coils). Choose TCP for new systems, RTU for legacy equipment integration.

What are registers in Modbus?

Registers are 16-bit memory locations on the device. Modbus reads/writes registers. Discrete inputs (1 bit), coils (writeable 1 bit), input registers (16 bit), holding registers (writeable 16 bit). Temperature sensor might output to register 100.

How do I connect to a Modbus device?

Use PyModbus (Python) or a Modbus library in your language. Client connects to device IP/port (TCP) or serial port (RTU). Read/write registers, handle errors. Example: client.read_holding_registers(100, count=10) reads 10 registers starting at 100.

What's OPC UA and how does it relate to Modbus?

OPC UA is a newer, more complex standard. Modbus is simple and works everywhere. Many systems use Modbus for device communication, OPC UA for enterprise software. Gateways convert between them.

How do I handle timeouts and disconnects?

Modbus devices sometimes stop responding. Implement timeouts (max time to wait for response). Detect disconnects; reconnect automatically. Log errors. Alert if device offline for >5 minutes.

Can I use Modbus over wireless?

Not natively. Modbus expects reliable networks (Ethernet, serial). Wireless is unreliable. Solution: wireless gateway that translates to Modbus TCP. Industrial wireless (6LoWPAN, ISA 100.11a) used for multi-hop mesh.
