Modbus SCADA is a program for data collection and system monitoring. It collects data from Modbus enabled systems (e.g. PLCs, Instruments, I/O Modules) and displays it in on the screen. If you do not need screens to visualize your data, you can also use it as the Modbus Master tool which communicates with Modbus Slave devices and presents the collected data in the tabular form.

I'd like to add that Modbus SCADA systems can also be used to:
• Trigger alarms and alerts based on specific data thresholds or conditions.
• Control devices and systems remotely, either manually or through automated scripts.
• Integrate with other systems like Historian databases or MES systems for advanced analytics and reporting.
By understanding the capabilities of Modbus SCADA and leveraging the available tools and resources, you can effectively monitor and control your industrial processes.
