- Modbus ASCII requires twice the number of bytes as RTU to transmit the same data payload.
- Modbus ASCII uses explicit start (':') and end ('CR/LF') delimiters, eliminating strict timing requirements.
- Modbus ASCII is predominantly used on slow radio modems or acoustic telemetry links where continuous packet streaming cannot be guaranteed.
