As IoT evolves, projects are shifting from being experimental and exploratory to business critical. This makes them more complex, ensures they receive more scrutiny and, inevitably, increases the opportunities for things to go wrong.

The Modbus TCP/IP protocol was introduced by Modicon (now Schneider Electric) in 1999. Developed as an extension of the Modbus serial protocol to enable communication over TCP/IP networks, its purpose was to leverage the widespread adoption of Ethernet in industrial environments. The robustness, simplicity, and wide compatibility have made Modbus TCP/IP the go-to choice for countless industrial applications in the current scenario.
