Summer 2006 Issue Modbus in the Modbus TCP/IP Wireless World IEC Update We’Re Not Kidding When We Say Modbus Is Everywhere News Summer 2006 Issue Modbus in the Modbus TCP/IP Wireless World IEC Update We’re not kidding when we say Modbus is everywhere. As Modbus-IDA Technical Director, Rudy Belliardi, has been the most ubiquitous industrial communications working closely with the IEC as the Modbus TCP/IP protocol in the world, Modbus is found in every protocol progresses through the process of review and conceivable industry and application. Modbus voting by member countries. serial predominates in many legacy applications In September 2004, the protocol along with a companion and the number of Modbus TCP/IP applications grows as protocol known as RTPS, was submitted to IEC SC65C Ethernet becomes the preferred communication medium. as a real-time industrial Ethernet suite. The most recent space to find With the positive vote in 2004, the Modbus TCP/IP Modbus is in wireless applications. profile was accepted by the IEC as a Publicly Available This is the focus of the Modbus Specification and eligible to become part Organization’s exhibit planned for of future editions of the International ISAEXPO 2006. Standards IEC 61158 and IEC 61784-2. We will be showcasing applications in four wireless In approving the document, several technology spheres. Member companies will be there to talk national committees asked that the about Modbus products in: specification be reformatted for better • GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) integration into the revision of IEC-61158 (Ed 4.0 2007), (Spectrum Controls) the well-known fieldbus standard. • Radio Today, the reformatted specification has been submitted (ProSoft Technology, Inc.) for review, and the organization is awaiting comments • and requests for changes that will be addressed by a 802.11 (Wi/Fi) deadline later in the year. After that, more review and a (Sealevel Systems) final vote is expected in late 2007. • Bluetooth When this process is completed, Modbus-IDA plans to (Schneider Electric) make the revised protocol available on the Modbus-IDA Visit the Modbus-IDA booth to learn about devices and website as soon as possible. applications in all four technologies.

  • Of Fieldbus Signals Physical Integrity Testing
    RS 232 Link & MODBUS Protocol Checking the Quality of Fieldbus Signals Physical integrity testing Fieldbuses correspond to a series of electrical wires which convey information in digital form between 2 remote devices. A large number Industry of bus protocols are used in the field, in a wide variety of sectors: industry, automotive, building automation, hospitals, etc. Frequently-encountered bus protocols include KNX, DALI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay™, AS-i, Profibus®, RS 485, RS 232, ETHERNET, etc. Automotive In computer networks, the physical layer is the first layer in the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model and it is responsible for effective transmission of the electrical or optical signals between devices. It is useful to measure this electrical physical level in order to optimize communication and draw up a diagnosis: change of Building cable, verification of chassis-earth, termination, etc. Automation We are going to look at the details of a test on an RS232 link between a multimeter and a PC with an oscilloscope offering the physical test in accordance with the applicable standards.
