4 Method of control via Modbus protocol
This chapter explains how to control the motor via RS-485 communication. The protocol used in RS-485
communication is the Modbus protocol.
The Modbus protocol is simple to use and its specification is open to the public, so this protocol is widely used in
industrial applications.
Modbus communication is based on the single-master/multiple-slave method. Only the master can issue a query
(command). Each slave executes the requested process and returns a response message.
