Modbus TCP is a communication protocol for industrial automation technology based on Ethernet. Modbus TCP corresponds to the direct implementation of the established Modbus protocol (RTU) to a TCP/IP based communication. Existing Modbus applications can thereby easily use a connection-based, secure exchange of process data via an existing Ethernet network.
Contrary to other protocols, Modbus can handle delayed messages which occur often e.g. for modem connections or wireless networks.
This way, Modbus enables reliable control, device monitoring and data recording, even from a distance.
AUMA actuators with AC .2 actuator controls support Modbus TCP, allowing easy and flexible integration into virtually any type of network.
