How does Modbus Communication Protocol Work?
✅ C'mon over to realpars.com where you can learn PLC programming faster and easier than you ever thought possible!
==========================
✅ Check out the full blog post over at
realpars.com/modbus-protocol/
==========================
In the previous video, you learned about what Modbus communication protocol is and the types of Modbus communication used in the industry.
Now, as promised, in this video you are going to learn about How Modbus communication protocol works between devices.
Each Modbus message has the same structure. Four basic elements are present in each message. The sequence and order of these elements are the same for all messages. This allows for easy parsing of the content of the Modbus message.
==========================
For additional detailed Modbus protocol technical information please refer to the modbus.org website:

And for more information about different protocols used with automation, refer to the following website;

Hello Fred: Hmmm, sorry for the late response. I did provide the following a few weeks ago. Yes, Modbus TCP/IP (Client (master) Server(Slave) supports multiple Clients. In some cases, the server equipment determines the number of Clients it will support. Some servers may only support 2 clients (master). Here is an example of a device gateway from ProSoft Technology supporting multiple clients. www.prosoft-technology.com/Products/Gateways/PLX3x/PLX31/Modbus-TCP-IP-to-Modbus-Master-Slave-Gateway-4-Port

didnt get the part of function code 03 refering to holding registers. how did func code 03 refer to holding registers?
@BD-ev2gk
5 жыл бұрын
The video did not properly explain the different function codes. Please see below table of Function Codes. The Function code tells the slave which table to access and whether to read from or write to the table. Function Code Action Table Name 01 (01 hex) Read Discrete Output Coils 05 (05 hex) Write single Discrete Output Coil 15 (0F hex) Write multiple Discrete Output Coils 02 (02 hex) Read Discrete Input Contacts 04 (04 hex) Read Analog Input Registers 03 (03 hex) Read Analog Output Holding Registers 06 (06 hex) Write single Analog Output Holding Register 16 (10 hex) Write multiple Analog Output Holding Registers Reference Numbers (Coil/Register Numbers) can be thought of as location names since they do not appear in the actual messages. The Data Addresses are used in the messages. For example, the first Holding Register, number 40001, has the Data Address 0000. Data addresses start from 0000 to 270E for each group. Therefore, for this example, the master would send Function Code 03 to read AO Holding register and send Data Address 0000 to identify location 40001 Please see www.simplymodbus.ca/FAQ.htm#Stored for a good detailed explanation. Cheers

So if i am correct you can read any register via modbus? Isnt it a bit dangerous? You can read in that case vulnerable parts of chip memory. Or is it just a somekind of fasade what will be mapped inside memory of real device?
@scottsommer5450
5 жыл бұрын
The memory map for a Modbus-based PLC is similar to that for any PLC. There is user memory that can be addressed by register, but you cannot read or write into the PLC firmware. Yes, reading and writing can be done to/from any register, so it is up to the user to manage the memory map and where to read from or write to. Of course, Digital Input and Input Registers may be overwritten by the I/O subsystem as the I/O connected to the device is scanned.

Great video as usual but 3:25 to 3:55 is a Little confusing. Shouldn't the data address be 0001 Instead of 0000 at 3:35 ? plus what's the difference between function code 1 and 2 ? Specifically function code 2 is for reading discrete output contact, I thought contact is used for inputs and coils for output
@realpars
3 жыл бұрын
Modbus uses something called "zero-based addressing", so word 40001 has a memory area offset of 0, word 40002 has an offset of 1, etc. This is shown at 4:35 in the video. Modus commands vary by device, but the following refers to standard Modbus commands. (www.modbus.org/docs/PI_MBUS_300.pdf) Modbus command 0x01 is used to read the memory map in the COIL registers (physical outputs). Modbus command 02 is used to read the memory map in the DISCRETE INPUT registers (physical inputs).

Am a noob here. Can modbus talk to other equipment that are on full duplex tcpip?
@realpars
3 жыл бұрын
Yes. but not directly. You would need to add a gateway device to convert from one protocol to the other. I am going to assume that when you say full-duplex TCP/IP you are referring to Ethernet. Even if you were using Modbus TCP, you would still need a gateway. These devices are robust and not too expensive. I have use gateways like this to connect Siemens S5 PLC's to Rockwell CompactLogix PLC's with simple configurations.

Hepl me please. How many devices can I connect in a Modbus communication protocol?
@realpars
3 жыл бұрын
The answer depends on a few factors. Each device would be considered a node, with its own unique node address. Per the Modbus RTU spec, nodes 1 - 127 are possible (1 master node, 126 slave nodes). Some vendor's firmware only supports 32 or 64 nodes. ModbusTCP technically can support up to 247 nodes, but that will require more TCP sockets on the master to be open than most operating systems can handle.
How can the slaves know thant 01 function code 01 is coil output and 02 is discrete input?
@realpars
4 жыл бұрын
All slaves follow the MODBUS RTU standard for communication. At 3:23 in the video, you see the message format for MODBUS RTU. Any device connected with this protocol must follow the rules of the protocol . When the slave device receives the command string, it parses out the node the message is intended for, and if it is that node, it strips off the function code and takes the appropriate action.
Why this protocol is not using IP for routing calls to slaves? Is the hardware for this protocol is faster more resilient? Quite strange to send request to all slaves, wouldn't there be a router like in IP networks? Also, application protocol (RPC) of function code + data is coupled with network layer... so meaning can't switch to different protocol over Modbus... Also, how is versioning done for this protocol? Is there any issues with master talking to slaves and slaves have wrong version of functions (same function code but wrong function data/operation performed). This protocol looks like all pieces bundled together: network; routing; protocol; RPC; error checking.

Hello Nikolay. Thank you for watching and your question. In short you are correct, Modbus does offer an Ethernet communication solution, called Modbus TCP. Please review the Modbus Organization and specification for Modbus TCP here, modbus.org at modbus.org/docs/Modbus_Messaging_Implementation_Guide_V1_0b.pdf. This video covers the essential basics of the Modbus protocol in general. The basics of the PDU are contained in the data portion of the packet, and can be visualized using Wireshark or equivalent. Hope this helps. - Wally
