List of automation protocols
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Communication network protocols used for Building, Industrial and machine automation applications.
BACnet - for building automation, designed by committee ASHRAE.
CC-LINK, supported by Mitsubishi Electric.
Controller Area Network and CANopen
ControlNet
DeviceNet - originally by Allen-Bradley
EGD (Ethernet Global Data) - General Electric Fanuc PLCs (see also SRTP)
EtherNet/IP - IP stands for "Industrial Protocol" Created by Rockwell Automation.
FINS, Omron's protocol for communication over several networks, including ethernet.
Host Link, Omron's protocol for communication over serial links.
Interbus, Phoenix Contact's protocol for communication over serial links, now part of PROFINET IO.
LonTalk - protocol for LonWorks technology by Echelon Corporation
MelsecNet/10, supported by Mitsubishi Electric.
Modbus RTU or ASCII
Modbus-NET - Modbus for Networks
Modbus/TCP
Modbus Plus
Optomux - Serial (RS-422/485) network protocol originally developed by Opto 22 in 1982. The protocol was openly documented and over time used for industrial automation applications.
Profibus - by PROFIBUS International.
