Modbus
Modbus is an open, mature, and straight forward communications protocol. It was originally published in 1979 by Modicon (Schneider Electric) and has since evolved into a standard communications protocol for industrial electronic devices.
Modbus was specifically designed to be used in supervisory control and data acquisition systems, connecting a supervisory computer with several remote terminal units (RTU). It therefore uses a master-slave-technique in which one device, the master, initiates transactions (called queries). Other devices, the slaves, respond by performing the action requested in the query and/or by supplying the requested data to the master.
See Wikipedia for further information.
emModbus
emModbus, SEGGER's implementation of the Modbus protocol, supports communication via UART (ASCII, RTU) and Ethernet (Modbus/TCP and Modbus/UDP) and is capable to communicate with any Modbus compliant device.
emModbus supports building master and slave devices, which can even be combined in the same product. Also, multiple interfaces in the same product are supported. Each interface can be configured at runtime, making it possible to build a pretested library to be deployed in multiple projects.
