Industrial Communication Protocols

Modern industrial machines and systems are expected to be ever more intelligent and highly efficient. Both intelligence and efficiency are determined by the ease, speed, and accuracy of data accessibility across systems. For an industrial network to become efficient, the horizontal and vertical communications across devices and systems of ISA-95 pyramid, should be seamless. To ensure this, a robust connectivity is crucial.

The ecosystem of an industrial enterprise encompasses a diverse range of devices, machines, and applications, which are expected to communicate with each other irrespective of their makes, communication methodologies, etc. This calls for integrating the essential set of industrial communication protocols into the system to enable this communication.

Be it quick responsiveness, message accuracy, time sensitivity, or compatibility with the existing systems, the manufacturers of industrial devices or components need to address all the above criteria and more by offering a range of connectivity solutions along with the core product. However, it requires specific protocols expertise, skills, and experience to integrate connectivity support in hardware and software.

Integrating the right connectivity solutions into the industrial systems demands a thorough understanding of the domain and expertise to add value at each step. Therefore, it is best to rely upon a technology partner that can convert the connectivity requirements into potential value propositions.
