Modbus FAQ for Automation Engineers

Modbus is a widely used communication protocol in industrial automation. It enables different devices, such as PLCs, sensors, drives, and precision tools like Kolver’s K-DUCER, to exchange data over serial or Ethernet connections.

For automation engineers, Modbus is almost plug-and-play: most Ethernet-capable PLCs and industrial PCs/MES systems already support it.

K-TESTER + DOCK08 1

New multiple output connector for K-TESTER

In the field of industrial assembly, the reliability and accuracy of torque tools are essential.

KOLVER’s K-TESTER is already a leading tool for torque measuring, but what happens when multiple transducers are involved, and a real-time, streamlined solution is needed?

The answer is the new multiple output connector DOCK08, which allows up to 4 transducers to be connected simultaneously to the K-TESTER.
