How communication protocols specific to industrial automation can optimise an existing product
Industrial automation has become an essential element in the race for efficiency, productivity and competitiveness in the global marketplace. The industrial automation sector uses communication protocols to enable its heterogeneous equipment to communicate with each other reliably and securely. These protocols define the way in which data is transmitted between the various components of the automated system: format and structure of the data exchanged, synchronisation, routing, security, etc. They thus represent the foundations of communication within industrial automation systems and contribute to their smooth operation and the optimisation of their performance. The benefits of efficient, reliable communications protocols within a product improve its competitiveness by making it more efficient and better adapted to market needs and developments. In this article, we explain how communication protocols specific to industrial automation can optimise an existing product.
