Protocol overview
2.1
Modbus TCP
The Modbus protocol is the typical means of transfer with TCP / IP and commonly used to
connect industrial electronics. Simple and robust, it has become the de facto standard
communication protocol and is currently used to connect industrial electronics.
ARIO-C-MT, Modbus TCP-Based Coupler, synchronizes the data of all connected I / O modules
with Modbus TCP. The coupler determines the physical structure of the node and automatically
creates a local process image of all the I / O. It also includes a mixed arrangement of analog
(word) and digital (byte) modules.
The process image consists of the input and output data area.
