As a serial communications protocol, Modbus has become a practically standard communication protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. Therefore, all devices can be connected using the Modbus protocol with the measurement and remote control on ships, buildings, trains, airplanes and more. The existing Modbus that has been used is based on serial communication. Modbus TCP uses Ethernet communication based on TCP / IP which is the most widely used Internet protocol today; so, it is faster than serial communication and can be connected to the Internet of Things. In this paper, we designed an algorithm to control LED lighting in a wireless Wi-Fi environment using the Modbus TCP communication protocol, and designed and implemented a LED controller circuit that can check external environmental factors and control remotely through the integrated management system of a ship. Temperature, humidity, current and illuminance values, which are external environmental factors, are received by the controller through the sensors, and these values are communicated to the ship's integrated management system via the Modbus protocol. The Modbus can be connected to Master devices via TCP communication to monitor temperature, humidity, current, illuminance status and LED output values, and also users can change the RGB value remotely in order to change to the desired color. In addition, in order to confirm the implementation of the controller, we developed a simulated ship management system to monitor the temperature, humidity, current and illumination conditions, and change the LED color of the controller by changing the RGB value remotely.

Communication between system modules is applied using the Modbus protocol in industrial sites including smart factories, industrial drones, building energy management systems, PLCs, ships, trains, and airplanes. The existing Modbus was used for serial communication, but the recent Modbus protocol is used for TCP/IP communication.The Modbus protocol supports RTU, TCP and ASCII, and implements and uses protocols in embedded systems. However, the transmission I/O devices for RTU, TCP, and ASCII-based protocols may differ. For example, RTU and ASCII communications transmit on a serial-based communication protocol, but in some cases, Ethernet TCP/IP transmission is required. In particular, since the C language (object-oriented) is used in embedded systems, the complexity of source code related to I/O registers increases. In this study, we designed software that can logically separate I/O functions from embedded devices, and designed the execution logic of each instance requiring I/O processing through a delegate class instance with Modbus RTU, TCP, and ASCII protocol generation. We designed and experimented with software that can separate communication I/O processing and logical execution logic for each instance.

This Paper decribes a monitoring system using Modbus protocol and RS485 interface applied in many industrial field. We developed hardware to receive alanlog sensor output and monitoring program to communicate with hardware and carried out experiment with potentiometer for plan sensor, . Through online communication between Master and Slaves we convinced the usage of this systems. Also plant data file that saved in Excel format is convenient in writing various typs of documents.

In this work, a new control module and communication system associated with DSP are proposed to overcome the limitations of the contemporary prevailing PLC-based industrial equipment controller, and the performance of the proposed system was experimentally verified. In the light of this issue, a communication conversion scheme from RS-485 to Modbus, the dominant communication protocol used by PLC, was developed and shown to yield enhanced compatibility between devices. The proposed system allows for ~50％ cost reduction as well as downsizing of the industrial controllers. Furthermore, the design includes 24 V general digital I/O pins, which facilitate partial expansion of inputs and outputs. With Modbus communication implemented in DSP with the RS-485 interface, multi-to-multi communication may also be achieved.

The Modbus protocol is the most widely used protocol for connecting multiple slave control units (SCUs) in the master control unit. However, the Modbus protocol does not identify which SCU response message corresponds to the service request message. Therefore, when using the Modbus protocol, one service request message can be transmitted after processing the previous message. In this paper, we propose a Modbus application protocol with an index code and a service code to solve the problem. As a result of experimentation, it is possible to transmit the next service request message without processing the previous service request message. And when a communications error occurs, it is possible to identify what type of error occurred using an error detection algorithm. Also, with simultaneous multiple service requests, the proposed protocol can improve processing time by about 66.2%, compared to the original Modbus protocol.

Real time processing is important in the industrial field. In this paper, we implement for Modbus/RTU(Remote Terminal Unit) protocol using LabVIEW based on serial communication. In other to obtain the experimental data from torque sense and voltage/current meter, Modbus/RTU protocol is implemented by LabVIEW tool. Mechanical loss can be calculated by torque, RPM, voltage, and current. Source code consist of panel and block diagram. We confirmed these source code can be applied in industrial field.

This paper describes development of distributed type independent electro-hydraulic ballast valve remote control system with diagnostic function based on fuzzy inference using redundant Modbus communication and ethernet Modbus TCP/IP. Diagnostic function estimate degradation of system components and diagnose system faults, which results in shortage of fault maintenance time and improvement of system safety. Slave devices which control each valve and master device which command, monitor and diagnose slave system are developed. Slave devices are connected to master device with redundant Modbus networks and master device is connected to ship's integrated control system with Modbus TCP/IP. Also this paper describes development of simulator to test and confirm whether developed system can be integrated with ship's integrated control and monitoring system.

The developed user protocol converter was consist of S/W and H/W, and is supporting the Modbus, the NMEA0183 and the ethernet. The hardware main processor was used the AVR128, and placed the serial communication part and the ethernet part in converter board. The experiment results, we acquired very high transmission rate and conversion rate.
