MODBUS over serial line (RTU)
#############################
MODBUS
######
Modbus is an industrial messaging protocol. The protocol is specified
for different types of networks or buses. Zephyr RTOS implementation
is currently only available for serial line and may be used
for different types of networks or buses. Zephyr OS implementation
supports communication over serial line and may be used
with different physical interfaces, like RS485 or RS232.
TCP support is not implemented directly, but there are helper functions
to realize TCP support according to the application's needs.
Modbus communication via serial line is based on client/server model.
Modbus communication is based on client/server model.
Only one client may be present on the bus. Client can communicate with several
server devices. Server devices themselves are passive and must not send
requests or unsolicited responses.

`modbus-tcp-server-sample` is a simple Modbus TCP server.
`modbus-gateway-sample` is an example how to build a TCP to serial line
gateway with Zephyr OS.
