There's a ton of information on the Internet for Schneider/Modicon's modbus
protocol, including modbus+., modbusrtu, and modbustcp...  Specs are freely
available http://www.modbus.org/docs/Modbus_Application_Protocol_V1_1b.pdf.
If you spend 2 minutes with google you'll find more then you'll need.  For
example: http://www.modbus.pl/download/zxy66/v19/modbus_perl_client.zip.
Anyways, enjoy your research...
