ModbusTCP - What type of protocol is Modbus TCP

Modbus TCP

Modbus TCP is part of the Modicon’s Modbus family of protocols that operates on the Ethernet TCP network layer. Modbus is an open protocol and is widely uses across building automation, intelligent buildings, and industrial automation networks. With the help of a FieldServer client we can set and retrieve Modbus TCP values from your device and make it available to just about any other devices, or we can emulate a Modbus master and serve values to your Modbus device from other non Modbus devices. The FieldServer can convert Modbus TCP message to an impressive set of other building automation protocols and acts as a middle man or protocol converter/gateway.
