Is your Gigabit SCADA too fast for your serial bus?

Increasing the SCADA timeout setting is only a band-aid that freezes your monitoring software. The architectural solution is to decouple the networks using Hardware Edge Caching.

1. Character Time: Standard Modbus RTU uses 11 bits per character (1 start, 8 data, 1 parity/none+stop, 1 stop).
2. Request Frame: Master query is fixed at 8 bytes.
3. Response Frame: Slave response is 5 bytes + (Registers × 2 bytes).
4. Silent Intervals: Modbus standard requires a 3.5 character silence between frames (7 characters total per round trip).
Formula: Total Time = [(8 + Response Bytes + 7) × 11 bits / Baud Rate] × 1000 + Slave Processing Delay.
