Congratulations! This is a must for everyone looking for basic Modbus knowledge.
Thanks for your positive response Gabriel! Happy to hear. Happy learning.
This will be a practical approach to serial communication
This video saved my butt ... I was part of a project that involved a lot of modbus RTU communication.. I have a IT background so without checking with me, I was given the job of making all the different devices communicate😳 I got the job done thanks to this video... Thanks Real Pars 😊
This video + the RTU + The RS485 and the RS232 ..... OF COURSE😁
Please how can I communicate my rtu to my device
It's amazing how often you become the subject matter expert on something while on a day off!

When deciding to set up Modbus communication between new PLCs, please carefully read the PLC's manual(s) regarding how they implement Modbus. You might be in for a surprise, some PLCs really aren't Modbus friendly, take Maple, for instance...
Solid advice. There's alot of the interpreted in the modbus protocol standard so it can be implemented differently from vendor to vendor. Sometimes the vendor may not even have the info. It'd also good to ask if you can have borrow a test equipment to test out.
Very true. I used to work for a process control software company back in the day and I wrote their Modbus driver. We had so many customers call and complain that their random loop controller, etc. didn't work with our driver and how our driver was incorrect. We would explain how our Modbus driver was our most popular driver and deployed to thousands of locations without incident and how it worked flawlessly with actual Modicon hardware. Yeah, they always felt stupid after those calls.
Thanks for the class
Your videos are the best. Love to watch them over and over. Please make a video on Siemens clamatix and one on Bacnet thank you.
Great suggestion! I will pass it on to our course developers.

While this isn't my precise line of work, I'm an electrician and occasionally get requests to draw cables and mount electronics that adhere to these systems. In my mind, and on the papers, it's basically just "this thread goes there" and that's it, but sometimes it's refreshing to have a little look at what actually goes on between all this wiring. It paints a more complete picture once I'm able to understand bits and pieces of it too. Not saying that I at all understand everything that's going on here :P, but it's interesting to skim through these kinds of videos just to see if I'm able to pick something up that can be useful to know in the future.
Hey!
Thanks for your comment, happy to see that - that's a great attitude!
Please, feel free to leave any questions you might have while watching the course videos, we're are more than happy to help.
Happy learning!
My guy. Thank you for embarking on this journey. i just need you to know you're not alone in this. i'm probably guilty, too. We chose the paths less traveled. We wanted Life on hard mode.
If things ever get too "real" for you; close your eyes, put a finger in each ear, and sing to 3. (And don't you EVER fucking think you're all alone and don't have anyone in your corner. Baby is in everybody's corner. We all make mistakes and we all need to come to terms with that.)
If things ever get WAY too "real" for you and you need help; put out that SOS for me and the shadows you've all been so afraid of will do what It does and work in the background.
Need it to stop? Wish it on me.

Thanks a million!
Thank you for this video. I'm here because I have two SMD220 MBUS meters and would like to monitor my power consumption, I'm in an off-grid solar setting and would like to follow my system on my PC. Any hints? I can write some programs if necessary.
The SMD220 MBUS meter is a nice device, but as far as I know, it only has pulsed outputs. That means it produces a pulse for every unit of power it sees, with 1000 pulses = 1 kWh. To monitor this on a PC, you will need a DAQ board (data acquisition board) that can interface with your computer (typically through USB) and accept and process low-voltage pulsed inputs. This unit also has an M-NBus connector, so you may be able to directly connect it to your PC if you have the right converter, cable, and software. In any case, once the data is in the PC, you will either need to purchase or develop an application that can grab the data from the USB port and display/trend/archive it according to your specific needs.
Thank you very much !
You're more than welcome!
best regards real pars...
Very useful and focused, thaniks
Glad to hear that, Jose!
Slimme uitleg ! niets minder van een Hollander!
Dank je wel! :)
Is that correct to say that in practice Master is an I/O module in practice?
Useful video
Glad you liked it!
Although modbus is VERY basic and FREE protocol in automation or industrial data communication, i am a bit shock when engineers, technician or operators for a huge process plant (in my case, District Cooling Plant) does not know modbus. They only know "high level interface" for any data interface. Maybe because they dont teach you this stuff even in college when studying electrical engineering (me too).
Modbus TCP/IP doesn't meet certain cyber security certification of today. It's not encrypted. Super easy to hack. I think it's dangerous for lets say a drinking water system that gives thousands and thousands of people drinking water. Or electricity or any kind of thing that can endanger life. Communication today really need encrypted communication between the PLC's if you doing something really important.
Awesome video
Thank you!
Hello guys, I am working on Modbus protocol with Dell gateway 5000 but I am not getting how to configure the connection and to read data from the sensor through Gateway 5000 with RS485
check your function you send to the slave and make sure you request the correct type of data for the device to reply for example if protocol is RTU address type if 01x or 00x you read/write bits otherwise if 04x to 06x depending on function you will read/write word(16bit) or use 2 cosecutive adresses to read/write(32bit word) data, note that some data may require 0 based indexing or 1 base indexing depending on your slave cpu
man automation is really a beauty i want to learn everything i can from basics to advanced stuff but i dont know where to start from 😪😪😪😪😪
Happy to hear that you are so motivated! We also have a free course on PLC Hardware realpars.vhx.tv/browse. You might find that interesting as well ;). Happy learning.
For better understanding try to understand panel's power and control wiring, if the same is understood then you may opt for plc, differentiate the old relay logic and plc relay logic. I'm sure once it is done you'll get basic concepts related to it and further by using various protocols and including actuators and analog system, you'll definitely do ur best.
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot, the great videos ..however it´s complicated for my student, because in Chile are latin spoken and i must to translate everything, but it´s amazing job, best regards.

can you make a video about the encoder ? and thank you for this videos , i like your channel
Hi there, thanks for the topic suggestion. I will pass it on to our creator team.
Happy to hear that you like our channel! Thank you.
Thank you
You are very welcome Aslam!
Im confused. Is rs-232/428 just the physical layer of ANY serial communication protocol or is it a complete serial protocol in of itself? By protocol i mean the methods of encoding and decoding messages on a binary level, the voltage levels and stuff.
For example take i2c. It is a serial communication protocol. And we can implement it using a 2 wire bus( this id the physical layer). I can for all intents and purposes use a DB9 connector for i2c communication by just utilizing 2 pins and 2 wires in the cable.
RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 are not protocols per the OSI standard definition for a protocol. They are electrical interfaces. They operate at what OSI would call Level 1. Profibus adds additional functionality at Level 1 and above for communications. Profibus is a true protocol that uses some aspects of RS-485 for electrical connections to the network.
@@realpars ok thanks
❤️❤️ very intresting
Glad to hear that, Jeeva! Happy learning
Can you upload a video to configure a modbus card MVI-46 MCM for SLC and communication of any device with it ???
Hi Sarfraz, I will pass your request on to our creator team and see if they can put this topic on the list.
It's a bit late, but for application specific questions I would visit PLCS.NET. There you can usually get answers for specific problems from engineers that have worked with the hardware/software in question.

How can we calculate number of points supported for polling, given the baud_rate, scan rate and interframe delay.
Do you know any formula?
Thanks in advance.
That number depends on a host of variables: number of DP nodes, baud rate, segment length, etc. There is no formula, a far as I know, but I have built large systems with 100+ Profibus nodes total across 4 or 5 segments at 500Kbaud and never had an issue (several thousand tags). If anyone has run into a limit, let us know! You can easily run into licensing limits (PO units) associated with WinCC (HMI platform), but the solution there is to buy more licenses!
good video..thumbs up..
Thanks a lot, Isuru!
I have a basic doubt regarding the transmission of signals from slave to master. For example in conventional system, we use twisted pair cable to transmit signals from field devices (input or output) to PLC/DCS. so it will be like input Field device to Jb , JB to I/O cards, I/O cards to I/O modules, MODULES to processor and vice versa for output signals. So Modbus communication is established through any special cables or Cards ? Is there any conversion of signals in between . May be I sound stupid but I will be happy to have some clarity.
Packet communication can carry another protocol, think of shipping boxes with product boxes inside.
I am new to LabVIEW program and trying control the variable refrigerant flow compressor speed through LabVIEW program. Using the following LabVIEW functions and hardware..
TCP Open connection: IP address has been defined in the TCP open connection.
Speedy: (driveweb.com) : This speedy device is connected with network card using Ethernet cable.
OPTIDRIVE E : This device controls the ‘Variable Refrigerant Flow” compressor speed(manually and based upon LabVIEW written program). This device is connected to network card through speedy by using Ethernet cable.
Hardware configuration:
OPTIDRIVE E ( IP 20 & IP66 (NEMA 4X) AC variable speed drive ( 0.37 - 11 kW) ( 110-480 V)
Confirmed: Its been confirmed that Speedy is communicating with CPU.. I have ping the IP address and it responded.
Questions:
1. What signal should I send to OptiDrive E in order to switch on/off the compressor motor?
2. Has anyone tried this before?
Any help will be appreciated !
Thanks!
depending on the protocol used by your optidrive E and you might need a convertor between your pc and the optidrive otherwise you have to write the protocol to convert the signals or use libraries if you have some, check the protocols that your OptiDrive E uses and check its address map, from what I've seen from optidrive it has a can bus and a RTU one so its preety forward, check its address map and call it, don't forget its slave address
Hi, I am struggling with my assighemnt question explaining about ethernet and USB how it linked to PLC and what pros and cons of them. Please help, thank you in advance
Hey, We are going to post a new video about Ethernet in a couple of weeks which may be helpful for your case.
How to interface s71200 to wincc in tia portal
Coming from a BEMS background the word Modbus strikes fear and ensures days lost trying to get things working......long live Bacnet
If I configure two PLC's to communicate with each other with Modbus, how do I setup the messages on the PLC to send to the other one? Are the messages being sent on each PLC scan cycle?
Modbus communication via PLC is done via a communication block. Depending on the type of PLC you have, you will configure the communication differently. Some PLC's use GET or READ statements to fetch variables from the other PLC, and some use SEND or WRITE statements to send variables to the other PLC.
Hi, do you BMS BACNet in your course ?
Hi, unfortunately we don't have a course video on that at the moment.
Hi, do you recommend me a Modbus TCP IP or RTU splitter? Where I can find this? Thanks
Modbus TCP does not require a splitter to join devices. Modbus TCP, just like Ethernet, can use a network switch to put multiple devices on a network. For Modbus RTU, devices can be connected via daisy-chained cable to a Modbus Master. However, if you need to connect a group of Modbus RTU devices to EThernet, I like the Moxa ioThink 4510 or RTA 460ESMM-N34-D gateway, which can communicate to up to 32 Modbus RTU devices.
So is modbus a competitor to profibus and profinet or is it just a collection of those and others? Is there modbus DP?
First, there is no Modbus DP. Modbus could be considered a competitor to Profibus and Profinet, but the capabilities of Modbus are limited as compared to Profibus. Modbus and Profibus are roughly based on the same electrical signal standard, but they are two very different protocols.
Would you use Modbus to control lights off a house? Or is there anything better/newer?
Modbus would not be typically used for home automation. This is normally done by controlling a relay embedded in a device you plug into an outlet and control via WiFi.
Is the communication between PLC s7-1200 and PC using ethernet cable a Modbus TCP?
The interface is an MPI interface, which is a proprietary Siemens protocol (Multi-Point Interface). It is based on EIA-485 and has a configurable speed of 187.5 kBd to 12 MBd. MPI was the "inspiration" for the ProfiBus protocol. MPI can be connected in a variety of ways to the PC and S7 PLC, including a CAT5E cable.
Hi
What protocols to include in open protocol ? Pls help me ?
Open PLC implies use of the IEC 61131-3 languages. These are ladder diagram, function block, structured text, instruction list and sequential function chart. Communication protocols could be any industrial internet (Profinet, Ethernet/IP, etc) or standard open protocol like Profibus or Modbus.
.
Is slave an io module or devices like sensors, actuators?
In serial communications where there are multiple nodes on the network, timing of communications, sending of commands, and error handling are all tasks that are handled by the "master node". This usually exists in a control system as a communications card, like the Siemens CP card in an S7 system. "Slave" nodes are those that respond to the commands set by the "master". An example would be IM cards in a Siemens S7 system or devices such as VFD's. In a ProfibusPA network, sensors and actuators would be slave devices responding to commands and requests from the ProfibusPA master module.
