Local Area Network

Modbus Plus was originally developed by Schneider and Modicon and is today managed by the Modbus-IDA user
organization. It is a global Fieldbus network with its main application area in Europe and in automation systems from
Schneider and Modicon. Modbus-Plus connectivity is available for many different products such as PLC's, Inverters, Drives
and I/Os. Modbus Plus is a Master/Slave Fieldbus based on RS-485 transmission technology and a token passing protocol
for industrial control applications. Networked devices can exchange messages for the control and monitoring of processes
at remote locations in the industrial plant.

The network also provides an efficient means for servicing input/output subsystems. Modicon Modbus Plus Distributed I/O
(DIO) Drop Adapters and Terminal Block I/O (TIO) modules can be placed at remote I/O sites to allow the application to
control field devices over the network link.
