MODBUS & CANBUS
MODBUS and CANBUS are two very essential communication protocols with wide applications in IoT and industrial automation. MODBUS enables reliable serial communication between different devices over RS485 or TCP/IP with a system, and hence it is extremely useful in applications involving remote control and monitoring. A versatile protocol for vehicle networks, CANBUS ensures smooth communication between sensors and controllers, which is essential for automotive and fleet management systems.
Our Experience with MODBUS & CANBUS in IoT Projects
MODBUS
A combination of MODBUS with Raspberry Pi was used to control relay motors remotely in a UK vending machine project. Users select products via the kiosk display & make payments, which the back-end verifies. The designated motor then turns to dispense the product ensuring smooth operation.
CANBUS
A solution for an Indian Government bus agency to analyze real-time driver behavior, predictive maintenance & GPS-based fleet tracking. The CANBUS implementation helps to communicate with the device and gather real-time data, thus enhancing the overall efficiency.
