Modbus enables communication among many devices connected to the same network, for example, a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a computer. Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Many of the data types are named from its use in driving relays: a single-bit physical output is called a coil, and a single-bit physical input is called a discrete input or a contact. | Modbus enables communication among many devices connected to the same network, for example, a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a computer.

This article provides a guide on how to use Modbus TCP to monitor | This article provides a guide on how to use Modbus TCP to monitor RUT955 routers with a PC using a Linux Operating System. However, the same principles apply to RUT230, RUT240 and RUT950 routers, but the holding register information will differ. You can find this information in the links below: | ||
