Hannover Fair 2004: Modbus protocol ownership moved to Modbus-IDA
To show how dedicated it is to the openness of the Modbus protocol, Schneider Electric recently transferred its copyright of the protocol to Modbus-IDA, a nonprofit organization formed in 2002 to advance industrial communications. Modbus was originally developed by Modicon, which became part of Schneider Automation in 1979.
