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,
the Modbus Organization is an association of users and suppliers of
control and automation devices. The organization works to support the
Modbus protocol, provide information and tools for individuals and
companies using Modbus. It maintains the authoritative website for
Modbus information. Additional information about the Modbus
Organization can be found on the organization’s website,www.modbus.org.
