Communication Bus Systems

Communication bus systems are used to connect distribution devices with varying levels of intelligence. With their different structures and mechanisms, certain bus systems are designed for highly specific applications, while others are better suited for more open applications. The following section describes the most important bus systems used in automation and power distribution systems.

MODBUS

MODBUS is an open, serial communications protocol based on a master-slave architecture. Since it is very easy to implement on any kind of serial interface, it can be used in a wide range of applications. MODBUS comprises a master and several slaves, whereby communication is controlled exclusively by the master. MODBUS features two basic communication mechanisms:

•Question/answer (polling): The master sends an inquiry to a station and waits for a response.

•Broadcast: The master sends a command to all the network stations, which execute the command without confirmation.

The messages enable process data (input/output data) to be written to and read from the slaves either individually or in groups.

The data can either be transmitted in ASCII or as a package in RTU format. MODBUS can be used over a wide range of transmission media, normally, on an RS 485 physical bus, a twisted, shielded two-wire cable with terminating resistors.

The MODBUS protocol was originally developed for networking control systems, and is often used for connecting input/output modules to a central PLC. Due to the low transmission rate of 38.4 kBaud max., MODBUS is particularly recommended for applications with a low number of stations or low response time requirements.
