IO-Link is a point-to-point communication protocol. A point-to-point connection is a communications connection between two separate endpoints or nodes. It is bi-directional, meaning it works two ways and works over a short distance. It is primarily used to communicate with sensors and actuators...
HART communication protocol is a perfect choice for multivariable instruments, like mass flow meters, where mass flow, volumetric flow, temperature and density can all be communicated to the control system over a single cable. The HART protocol is governed by a vendor-independent association, The ...
First and foremost, it is a form of serial data transmission. Or simply put, it is a form of communication. Most people simply called it a serial connection. At one time, it was the most used form of data transmission. You will probably recognize the standard 9 pin DB9 cable. Simply ...
PROFIBUS continues to lead serial Fieldbus technology, even though it’s been around since 1989. True, the world is gradually shifting to Industrial Ethernet for industrial data communication. Nevertheless, PROFIBUS still has a bright future. The prevalence and popularity of PROFIBUS in the manufacturi...
the factory’s PLC needs a communication protocol that is compatible with the field devices. Manufacturers don’t necessarily need a protocol from the same brand of their PLC — for example, ProfiBus can connect with all PLCs from the Allen Bradley family, but some protocols do not play well...
The NTP protocol is used for components synchronization. • Process level (I/O Modules level). The I/O modules, that control field devices (power plant equipment), are located on the Process level. The PROFIBUS DP protocol is used for communications between I/O modules and Automation server...

The first thing to understand is that OPC UA is more than just a protocol. Protocols such as DDS, AMQP or MQTT are concerned with the transfer of data between applications, devices and systems. They achieve this with different levels of intrinsic security, but they do not implicitly provide ...

Network protocols like Profibus (1989) and DeviceNet (1994) aimed to standardize automation communication. The adoption of open standards such as CANopen and Ethernet Power Link (EPL) has enhanced system reliability and connectivity.What are main components of a motion control system?
