Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP

Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP are industrial communication protocols for data transfer in automation systems. Modbus RTU uses serial communication for short to medium distances at lower speeds, while Modbus TCP operates over Ethernet networks, allowing for higher speeds and longer distances. In essence, Modbus RTU is suited for simpler environments, whereas Modbus TCP is designed for larger, faster networks.

Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP

Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP are industrial communication protocols used
for transferring data between devices in automation systems.

1. Modbus RTU:
- It is a protocol that uses serial communication* over RS-485 or RS-232.
- It is mainly used in industrial applications with short to medium distances
(up to 1200 meters).
- It operates at lower speeds compared to Modbus TCP, typically between
9600 bps and 115200 bps.
- It features a simplified data structure and works efficiently in environments
that don’t require high speeds.

2. Modbus TCP:
- This is a version of Modbus RTU but operates over Ethernet networks.
- It offers higher speeds as it utilizes modern internet or local area networks.
- It is typically used in applications that require faster speeds and longer
distances, where speeds can reach up to 100 Mbps or more.
- It can be easily integrated into LAN or internet networks and allows for
connecting more devices.

In summary, Modbus RTU is used in environments with shorter distances and


simpler requirements, while Modbus TCP is used in larger networks offering
higher speeds.
