Not the answer youre looking for Browse other questions tagged modbus or ask your own question. This makes it easier to capture and read but also more difficult to protect. This means the Master has the pull the information from a Slave at regular times. Other versions of Modbus (used in serial communication) are for example Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII. For serial communication, Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU are incompatible (meaning you have to use one or the other but not both on a network). In the serial world, the devices have to been connected in a daisy-chain manner, not in a star topology. This post is based on the same video, together with some of my findings when I did the labs. Each of these datastore types has two different types of registers: a readwrite and a read only. Each of these datastore types is a reference to a memory address. In most cases you dont need a unit id because you already addressed the correct unit via its IP address. In some cases however you will run into a situation where multiple devices are connected to one IP address (for example bridges). If you setup a Modbus client remember that it can not have unit id 0. It is a Java application that allows you to play with different slaves (registers and coils). As a reminder, the network captures are done with vmnet-sniffer and then opened in Wireshark. Wireshark has a decoder for Modbus (at least for captures done via TCP, for serial captures you have to set mbrtu in the user DLT ) which makes it easier to look at the data. The network capture shows that we requested to read 8 bit (the -n 8 ) from coils (the -r1 ) in the unit id 1 ( -u 1 ). In the reply packet you can see that the Transaction Identifier (36710) is the same as in the previous request. The reply also contains the requested function (F1 read coils) and the unit identifier (1). This packet contains the function request Write Single Register together with the reference number (8) and the payload (data, 014d). Whats more, theres a script that gives you more information on the Modbus device. The Modbus function code 17 is a diagnostics function to Report Slave ID. If you open a packet capture from when nmap was running you will notice the same request. The Modbus function code 43 is also a diagnostics function to Read Device Identification. The biggest challenge that you will probably face is capturing the traffic, especially if it concerns serial communication. Serial Modbus communication is no different than Modbus TCP communication, so once you have the capture and make Wireshark understand the communication it is easy to analyze.
