FUSION/Compact FUSION: Modbus TCP

Summary

Modbus TCP combines the features of Modbus protocol with the low-cost, familiar framework of an Ethernet network. Because Ethernet is so ubiquitous on a wide range of technologies, the system is easy to use and inexpensive to install. It also simplifiies cabling and makes communication with your digital controller more efficient.
