Hi
We are developing a new product to be hooked up on a Modbus cable as a Slave
I have done a lot of searching for modbus application to find which Modbus connector is the most common one. As far as I have found, Screw terminals are the most common, followed by RJ45 and lastly DB9 connectors
Is this a valid assumption?
Or is the trend the last couple of years towards RJ45?
The advantage of RJ45 is easy cabling to the product, but then one needs a splitter box or another way to do the daisy chaining of the Modbus unit. Another advantage of RJ45 is that the connector can be used in an Ethernet/LAN system also, without changing the product enclosure etc.
Thanks
Klaus
