Industrial Communication & Connectivity

Industrial communication protocols define how robots, PLCs, sensors and IT systems exchange data. Reliable Ethernet-based field networks and edge-to-cloud connectivity are essential for modern automation.

Back to catalog

PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, IO-Link and OPC UA cover most of the modern industrial communication landscape. The choice depends on the plant standard, the robot controller and the integration with MES / ERP systems.

Edge connectivity (industrial routers, MQTT, OPC UA, 5G modules) enables remote monitoring, predictive maintenance and integration with cloud and IoT platforms.
