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.

In this example we are going to be using our Windows 10 computer as a slave. To do so you will need to download and install '''modRSsim''' application, which you can download [https://sourceforge.net/projects/modrssim/ here].
