Originally developed in 1979 by Modicon (now Schneider Electric) to communicate with its PLCs, it has evolved to become a de facto standard in industries worldwide due to its simplicity and reliability.</p> <h3 id="monitoring-modbus-protocol-with-netdata">Monitoring Modbus Protocol With Netdata</h3> <p>Effectively monitoring the Modbus protocol is crucial for maintaining the performance and reliability of industrial control systems. Netdata offers an intuitive way to monitor Modbus by integrating with an openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter. Specifically, the <a href="https://github.com/dernasherbrezon/modbusrtu_exporter">modbusrtu_exporter</a> can be leveraged to collect vital metrics seamlessly.</p>
