Modbus RS485

Modbus/RS485 is a popular serial protocol to read various sensors. YuDash NUREX is being used to read a variety of instruments, sensors and PLCs for various applications. NUREX provides easy to configure approach for reading field Modbus instruments. Following are the key information points required for a successful read of instrument through Modbus:

  1. Baudrate

  2. Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bit

  3. Slave ID of instrument

  4. Modbus register information to read:

    1. Modbus register numbers and types)

    2. Modbus register data types (Size: integer/float/real. Byte swapping information: LSB/MSB etc.)

  5. Modbus register address.

Various Modbus topologies are covered in Modbus protocol documentation.
