# Modbus RS485

Modbus/RS485 is a popular serial protocol to read various sensors. YuDash ZENYX is being used to read a variety of instruments, sensors and PLCs for various applications. LYNX 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.

Refer to [LYNX Modbus RS485](/yudash-iot-devices/lynx-user-manual/lynx-settings/modbus-rs485.md) documentation for more details for Modbus settings.

Various Modbus topologies are covered in [Modbus protocol](/device-to-cloud-api/industrial-protocols/modbus.md) documentation.

## Modbus/RS485 interfacing example

YuDash ZENYX is connected with XY-MD02 temperature and humidity sensor through Modbus/RS485. Refer to [XY-MD02](/integration-guides/industrial-instruments/process-control/temp+humidity-xy-md02.md) integration guide for register mapping.&#x20;
