3 The Modbus Protocol: Benefits Modbus is the World s #1 industrial protocol - with the largest installed base. (*) It is truly open and free (no fees are charged, and information easily accessible without the need of being enrolled in any organization). It is very simple, easy to deploy, and cost effective. It offers much better scalability than more complex alternatives. It is Media independent with implementations over Ethernet, Serial lines, wireless, fibre optic, radio, etc. Thousands of Modbus over serial line devices and hundreds of Modbus TCP/IP devices have been developed and are available. It is suitable for a very wide range of industrial applications. Modbus over Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP), has gained a very strong place in the market during the last three years. The market is driving this trend. (*) According to IMS Research 3

4 Ethernet TCP/IP Modbus devices More than 350 hardware devices available Examples: Ebtron: Airflow measurement station Acrison: Weight Feeder controller DVT - Cognex: Vision sensors Flowserve: Flow Controller Honeywell - Eurotherm: Recorders Ormec:Motion controller GE Fanuc: PLCs More than 150 software products available Examples: Matrikon: OPC server Multiple tools and toolkits Examples: Ethereal - Cimetrics: Protocol analyzers Ergotec: Java Beans 4

5 Modbus-IDA.org: What is it? Modbus Organization, Inc. is a non-profit, independent organization with a web based community known as Modbus-IDA.org. 5

6 Modbus-IDA.org: Mission statement "Modbus-IDA is a group of independent users and suppliers of automation devices that seeks to drive the adoption of the Modbus communication protocol suite and the evolution to address architectures for distributed automation systems across multiple market segments. Modbus-IDA will also provide the infrastructure to obtain and share information about the protocols, their application and certification to simplify implementation by users resulting in reduced costs." 6

7 Modbus.org and come together Objective Address the larger scope needed to accomplish effective distributed architectures by the definition, publication and promotion of technical specifications to provide an interface for distributed automation. Common objective and interests Common technical view Use of Ethernet TCP/IP as a basis for industrial communications, ida had already adopted Modbus protocol, Common organizational approach Open organisational approach, not dominated by a single vendor. 7

10 Modbus-IDA and the IEC Modbus-IDA has been awarded Category D Liason status by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) the world s leading standard organization for electrical products and services. Modbus-IDA is participating in the definition of digital communications for the manufacturing and process automation environments especially in the in the area of industrial Ethernet and Real Time Ethernet (SC65C WG11). IEC has accepted the Modbus and RTPS (Real-Time-Publish- Subscribe) protocol as an IEC PAS (Publicly Available Specification) IEC/PAS 62030/Ed.1. Modbus-IDA intends to actively work toward incorporation of this PAS into the IEC at the next maintenance opportunity. 10

11 Modbus-IDA and IAONA Modbus-IDA is a member of the IAONA consortium - the independent platform organization for industrial Ethernet. At the Hannover Fair Modbus-IDA signed the updated IAONA MOU to work with other member organizations on topics of common interest including Security Aspects, Cabling, the use of IEEE 1588, and System Aspects. This serves both the interests of users and providers in avoiding too many different specifications. Ethernet Powerlink Specification Group (EPSG), EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG), Interests Group SERCOS Interface (IGS), Modbus-IDA, and ODVA participated at the meeting which led to a renewed and enlarged Memorandum of Understanding. 11

12 Modbus-IDA.org and the ITEI in China Modbus has been working with the ITEI agency in China since early 2003 Mr. Feng Xiaosheng, a senior representative of Instrumentation Technology & Economy Institute (ITEI) has served as a Modbus Organization board member since February In December 2003, ITEI organized an important delegation from China, including other government agencies, to visit the US and Canada to review the Modbus Organization, the certification system, visit users and understand the general position of Modbus in the market. Following the visit, the ITEI has indicated its desire to standardize Modbus in in China and pursue establishing a certification centre there for the Asia/Pacific region. 12

Modbus-IDA.org: Device Development and Certification The certification of Modbus TCP/IP devices (servers) and Modbus over serial line devices is made by the University of Michigan.

13 Modbus-IDA.org: Device Development and Certification The certification of Modbus TCP/IP devices (servers) and Modbus over serial line devices is made by the University of Michigan.

19 Diagnostic Remote diagnostic comprises Diagnostic of all components of the network Diagnostic of all Modbus TCP/IP devices as well as Modbus serial line devices through gateways Diagnostic of any application located in all Modbus devices Remote diagnostic is independent of the media used Phone line Ethernet Wireless,.. It is also independent of the location where it is requested thanks to IP capabilities 19

20 Diagnostic (2) Modbus messaging allows to get any type of diagnostic information Any Modbus device defines its diagnostic information interface In addition of Modbus other standard protocols can be used like SNMP for network management with standard and private MIB Web services for device and application diagnostic with predefined and user defined Web pages 20

21 Software protocol The following list of standard protocols is supported: FTP HTTP SNMP DHCP SMTP NTP TFTP For real time communication the following automation business standards are supported: Modbus TCP RTPS (Real Time Publish/Subscribe) No dedicated hardware all is COTS (commercial of the shelf). Communication bandwidth can be reserved for real time communication in order to master, to protect and to minimize the influence of Standard internet protocol. 21

22 Network structure Network topology must be appropriate to application requirements Ethernet 100 Mbps Ethernet/ Full duplex is the recommended configuration. Modbus allows redundancy of medium as well as Ethernet interface. Use of COTS (commercial of the shelf) components can take advantage of available features such as redundancy. Any Ethernet Standard components can be used to develop easily a Modbus TCP interface Modbus-IDA refers to the IAONA Planning and Installation Guide RJ45 IP20 connectors and M12 IP67 connectors are the two recommended solution Ring structures: Redundant ring, self healing. 22

23 Security Modbus-IDA works within IAONA and IEC SC 65C to analyse the requirements and define possible solutions based on standards Access right management, and basic authentication are used to protect resources within a Modbus device Network infrastructure configuration is also recommended by Modbus-IDA to protect a automation cell to external attack Access control list in network infrastructure devices 23

24 Project Planning Today interoperability between the existing solutions is not possible there is no common subset to exchange application data Coexistance of the different solutions is possible IT standards are used commonly to manage Modbus devices SNMP manager can handle agents in a common way FTP client can upload/download data from different solutions IP address management with BOOTP/DHCP WEB access with HTTP NTP to synchronize cloks SNTP to send alarm and to notify event using TCP/OPEN 24

25 Addressing IP Addressing complexity must be hidden to customers by using device name Address server (DHCP, BOOTP) allows to manage a large number of addresses To avoid shortage of V4 addresses on a local network IP subnetting private address range Classeless addressing Usage of V6 Evolution of IT standard will be encorporated in future Modbus products not expected in automation in the near future In a first step V4/V6 Routers can be used to migrate Usage of MAC address causes a problem when replacing a device Use of device name (Faulty Device Replacement) can be a solution 25

26 Performance considerations MODBUS-IDA is currently not covering hard real time It is member of IEC real time WG A suitable solution will be taken into account by MODBUS-IDA Optimized implementation of Modbus TCP ( I/O Scanning) has already been developed in order to get traditional Field bus Many applications have already been installed 26
