Modbus basics Modbus is a “master-slave” system, where the “master” communicates with one or multiple “slaves”. The master typically is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), DCS (Distributed Control System), HMI (Human Machine Interface), RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) or PC. The three most common Modbus versions used are: MODBUS ASCII, MODBUS RTU and MODBUS/TCP.
