What is Modbus IO?
Modbus I/O refers to I/O (input/output) devices and modules that communicate using Modbus protocol, a standardized communication protocol for transmitting information over serial lines or ethernet. Modbus I/O is designed to work with controllers and devices designed by any manufacturer, making it highly versatile. Types of Modbus include Modbus RTU/ASCII and Modbus TCP/IP. TCP/IP uses ethernet communication whereas RTU/ASCII uses serial communication. However, RTU is binary-oriented, while ASCII is text-oriented.
