Development of redundant bus library for arduino to apply in SCADA system

Abstract

In this paper, we developed the library for the microcontroller platform Arduino to apply in Modbus SCADA systems. This library allows Arduino board to communicate with RS-485 and use Modbus protocol which transmits data via a redundant bus. Experiments are conducted to compare the stability of data communication between a regular bus and a redundant bus which is the developed library. The results show the developed library Arduino board is able to communicate with redundant buses and more resistant to faults than conventional buses.
