MODBUS/UDP Packet Format

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

The MODBUS/UDP packets are "encapsulated" inside a standard UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packet

 

The UDP payload is divided in three major fields which are

 

MBAP (MODBUS Application Protocol)
FC (Function Code)
MDP (MODBUS Data Payload)

 

 

The MBAP and the FC code, together, represent the HEADER while the MDP field contains the data related to the request/response being issued
