Which of the following ports are used for communications in Modbus TCP?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Modbus TCP is a variant of the Modbus family of simple, networked protocols aimed at industrial automation applications. Unlike the original Modbus protocol, which runs over serial links, Modbus TCP runs over TCP/IP networks.

Port 502 is the standard TCP port used for Modbus TCP communications. This port is designated for Modbus messages encapsulated in a TCP/IP wrapper, facilitating communication between Modbus devices and management systems over an IP network.

Knowing the correct port number is crucial for network configuration, security settings, and troubleshooting communications within a Modbus-enabled ICS/SCADA environment.

I’m pretty confident it’s 502, but I might be mixing it up with another protocol.

I can't recall the exact port number, but I remember that Modbus TCP is a standard protocol. Could it be 405?

I feel like I saw a question about Modbus ports in practice exams, and 502 was definitely mentioned there.

I think Modbus TCP uses port 502, but I'm not completely sure. I remember it being a common one.
