Modbus
Modbus is a serial communication protocol originating in the field of industrial automation, emphasizing determinism, real-time performance, and device interoperability. It is widely used for device data exchange in control systems such as PLCs and SCADA.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In industrial scenarios, AIoT and IIoT overlap heavily: IIoT focuses more on the industrial protocol stack for device connectivity and data collection (such as OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT), while AIoT's focus is on using models such as machine learning and computer vision to turn data into judgments and decisions.
Industrial communication protocols (such as Modbus, OPC UA, Profinet, etc.) originate from the automation field, emphasize determinism, real-time performance and device interoperability, and are commonly used in control systems such as PLC and SCADA.
Industrial protocols such as BACnet and Modbus were designed with reliability and interoperability as priorities rather than security, and generally lack encryption and strong authentication mechanisms.
A building management system (BMS) is a control platform used in commercial buildings for centralized monitoring of mechanical and electrical equipment such as HVAC, lighting, water supply and drainage, and refrigeration, often running on industrial protocols such as BACnet and Modbus.
Industrial brownfield equipment often runs on proprietary communication protocols (such as Modbus, early OPC-UA variants, or vendor-specific interfaces) and cannot be directly connected to modern IoT platforms
Management signals for integrated racks come from server BMCs, cooling unit local controllers, PDU power monitoring modules, and rack-level environmental sensors, using different protocols such as IPMI, Redfish, SNMP, and Modbus.
Early load management solutions typically required the separate installation of an energy management system (EMS) to coordinate power consumption via communication protocols such as OCPP and Modbus, with high costs and complex installation.
ICS and SCADA-type systems were born in the 1970s and 1980s, and their communication protocols (such as Modbus and DNP3) have almost no built-in authentication or encryption mechanisms.
Many industrial protocols (such as Modbus and NMEA 0183) were designed with absolutely no authentication mechanisms, and data is transmitted in plaintext.
BMS typically uses industrial communication protocols such as BACnet or Modbus, and in recent years has also progressively added support for internet protocols such as MQTT and RESTful APIs.
