PRESS RELEASE
*Modbus Organization Replaces Master–Slave with Client–Server*
July 9, 2020 — The Modbus Organization Board of Trustees announces it is 
expunging all occurrences of inappropriate language of the query and  
response paradigm of Modbus communications. With recent events, all 
companies and individuals with the ability to make positive changes 
should do  so. As the holder of the standard for an industrial network 
with one of the largest installed bases in the world, it is important to 
complete the replacement of the current terminology with more thoughtful 
references. All  instances of “master–slave” in the organization’s 
literature and on its website  will be removed. Current electronic 
content is being updated as of this  announcement.Board Chair Todd Snide 
commented, “The time is overdue for  these words to be removed. The 
terms are unnecessary and insensitive to the  people who experience 
racism in this country and around the world. We urge  our member 
companies and all those who use the Modbus protocol to take similar 
action to rid their documentation and communications of these terms.”The 
organization is using “client–server” to describe Modbus communications, 
characterized by communication between client device (s), which 
initiates  communication and makes requests of server device(s), which 
process  requests and return an appropriate response (or error 
message).About Modbus–Organization, Inc.Headquartered in Massachusetts,
