Module 1: Modbus Fundamentals

1. Modbus – Introduction

The Modbus protocol is one of the most widely used in industrial automation, enabling communication between electronic devices from different manufacturers. In this video, we will discuss the origins of Modbus, its evolution over the years, and its importance in industrial network environments.

In addition to its versatility, Modbus stands out for its ease of implementation, being widely used in PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), sensors, meters, and other devices. During this lesson, we will explore the different variations of the protocol and how it adapts to different needs.

Finally, you will learn about the main application scenarios of Modbus, from small industrial networks to complex automation systems. We will also compare it with other communication protocols and discuss why it remains a relevant choice in the industry.
