[edit] Process automation protocols

• FOUNDATION fieldbus

• Profibus - by PROFIBUS International.

• PROFINET IO

• CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) - Can be treated as application layer common to DeviceNet, CompoNet, ControlNet and EtherNet/IP

• Controller Area Network utlised in many network implementations, including CANopen and DeviceNet

• ControlNet - an implementation of CIP, originally by Allen-Bradley

• DeviceNet - an implementation of CIP, originally by Allen-Bradley

• EtherNet/IP - IP stands for "Industrial Protocol". An implementation of CIP, originally created by Rockwell Automation

• EtherCAT

• Interbus, Phoenix Contact's protocol for communication over serial links, now part of PROFINET IO

• HART Protocol

• DirectNet - supported by Automationdirect

• Modbus RTU or ASCII

• Modbus-NET - Modbus for Networks

• Modbus/TCP

• Modbus Plus

• EGD (Ethernet Global Data) - GE Fanuc PLCs (see also SRTP)

• FINS, Omron's protocol for communication over several networks, including ethernet.

• Host Link, Omron's protocol for communication over serial links.

• Mechatrolink - open protocol originally developed by Yaskawa.

• MelsecNet/10, supported by Mitsubishi Electric.

• 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.

• SERCOS interface, Open Protocol for hard real-time control of motion and I/O

• GE SRTP - GE Fanuc PLCs

• Sinec H1 - Siemens

• SynqNet - Danaher.

• PieP - An Open Fieldbus Protocol.

• BSAP - Bristol Standard Asynchronous Protocol, developed by Bristol Babcock Inc.

[edit] Building automation protocols

• BACnet - for building automation, designed by committee ASHRAE.

• LonTalk - protocol for LonWorks technology by Echelon Corporation

• Konnex - previously EIB

• C-Bus

• DALI

• DSI

• Dynet

• oBIX

• ZigBee

• CC-LINK, supported by Mitsubishi Electric

• Modbus RTU or ASCII

• Modbus/TCP

[edit] Substation automation protocols

• IEC 61850

• IEC 101

• IEC 104

• DNP3 - Distributed Network Protocol

• IEC 103

[edit] Automobile / Vehicle protocol buses

• Local Interconnect Network (LIN) - a very low cost in-vehicle sub-network

• Controller Area Network (CAN) - an inexpensive low-speed serial bus for interconnecting automotive components

• J1939 and ISO11783 - an adaptation of CAN for agricultural and commercial vehicles

• FlexRay - a general purpose high-speed protocol with safety-critical features

• Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) - a high-speed multimedia interface

• Keyword Protocol 2000 (KWP2000) - a protocol for automotive diagnostic devices (runs either on a serial line or over CAN)

• Vehicle Area Network (VAN)

• DC-BUS [1] - Automotive power-line communication multiplexed network

• IDB-1394

• SMARTwireX
