MODBUS/TCP is the name of the protocol that implements serial Modbus over Ethernet. MODBUS/TCP is a variant of the Modbus protocol that uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as the transport layer to encapsulate Modbus messages and send them over Ethernet networks. MODBUS/TCP preserves the Modbus application layer and data model, which means that serial Modbus devices can communicate with MODBUS/TCP devices through a gateway or a converter. MODBUS/TCP is widely used in industrial automation and control systems, as it offers high performance, interoperability, and compatibility with existing Modbus devices.
