How to implement a multi-protocol communication solution that meets Industry 4.0? [Copy link]

In order for industrial equipment manufacturers to implement various industrial communication protocols in an economical and flexible manner, dedicated cores are needed to provide a more cost-effective, flexible and future-proof solution for industrial communications that can easily support multiple protocols.

Ethernet is ubiquitous and cost-effective, using common physical links and faster speeds. As a result, multiple industrial communication protocols have moved to Ethernet-based solutions. Ethernet communications that support TCP/IP are usually non-deterministic, with reaction times typically around 100ms. Industrial Ethernet protocols use a modified media access control (MAC) layer to achieve very low latency and deterministic responses. Ethernet also supports flexible network topologies and a flexible number of nodes in the system.

Commonly used industrial Ethernet protocols:

• EtherCAT
• PROFINET
• SercosIII
• EtherNet/IP
• POWERLINK
• Modbus/TCP
• CC-Link
