5. Commissioning, operation
The Modbus protocol is a single-master protocol. This master controls the entire data
®
transfer and monitors any possible timeouts (no reply from the addressed instrument). The
connected instruments may only send telegrams after request by means of the master.
Modbus RTU (RTU: Remote Terminal Unit) transmits the data in binary form, guarante-
®
eing a good data throughput.
