    BB-MESR90x Modbus Gateways MODBUS HELP MODBUS ASCII / RTU BASICS The Modbus protocol emerged in the mid-1970s as an early protocol for linking terminals with Modicon PLCs using a master/slave (sometimes called “master/client”-) relationship. As a simple, open, message-based protocol, it caught on quickly and became a de facto standard in the industry.
