Programme Aims:
The Modbus communication protocol is one of the most widely used methods for industrial automation and control systems. It enables reliable communication between devices such as PLCs, sensors, actuators, and HMIs. Modbus is fundamental in industries where real-time data acquisition, monitoring, and control are necessary. The protocol’s simplicity, robustness, and flexibility make it ideal for connecting devices in a wide range of industrial applications, including manufacturing, water treatment, HVAC, and energy systems.
This course is 10% theory and 90% hands-on exercises, delivered over 2 days, ensuring participants learn through practical application in real-world scenarios.
Areas covered include:
- Principles of Modbus communication protocol (RTU, ASCII, TCP)
- Modbus master and slave configuration
- Modbus addressing, function codes, and data types
- Interfacing Modbus with PLCs and other industrial equipment, use of test simulation tools
- Modbus protocol troubleshooting and diagnostics
- Practical integration of Modbus in industrial systems
- Modbus data exchange with real-time monitoring systems
- Optimising Modbus communication for efficient data transfer
The course uses practical exercises with real-life examples to demonstrate Modbus applications in an industrial automation environment. Participants will also learn how to integrate and troubleshoot Modbus communication in systems controlled by PLCs. These real-life scenarios can be tailored to mimic the learner’s area of employment.
Resources:
Digital material content will be provided to each learner prior to commencing the on-site hands on practically based course. Consuming this content is an optional choice for the learner but should be considered as self-directed learning. Consumption of this digital material prior to attending the course will enable learners to gain knowledge and understanding of the topics
