Modbus TCP/IP
Modbus TCP/IP simply takes the Modbus instruction set and wraps TCP/IP around it. Since TCP/IP is the communications standard for the Internet and most net- worked computers, this provides a simpler installation. Modbus TCP/IP uses stan- dard Ethernet equipment.
Raven Modbus on UDP
When Ravens are used in place of radios, a Raven is connected to the central station (host) and a Raven is connected to each remote unit. When the Raven is configured for Modbus with UDP, the Raven connected to the host can store a list of IP addresses or names with matching IDs. When the host at the central station sends serial data as a poll request, the Raven at the host matches the RTU ID to a corre- sponding IP of a Raven at a remote unit. A UDP packet is assembled encapsulating the RTU ID and serial data transmitted from the host. The UDP packet is then transmited to the specific Raven at the remote unit matching the RTU ID. The remote Raven then disassembles the packet before transmiting the RTU ID and serial data to the remote unit. The remote units operate in normal UDP mode and their data is sent to the host via the remote Raven and host Raven.
