List of automation protocols

From HandWiki
Short description: none

This is a list of communication protocols used for the automation of processes (industrial or otherwise), such as for building automation, power-system automation, automatic meter reading, and vehicular automation.

Process automation protocols

  • AS-i – Actuator-sensor interface, a low level 2-wire bus establishing power and communications to basic digital and analog devices
  • BSAP – Bristol Standard Asynchronous Protocol, developed by Bristol Babcock Inc.
  • CC-Link Industrial Networks – Supported by the CLPA
  • CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) – can be treated as application layer common to DeviceNet, CompoNet, ControlNet and EtherNet/IP
  • ControlNet – an implementation of CIP, originally by Allen-Bradley
  • DeviceNet – an implementation of CIP, originally by Allen-Bradley
  • DF-1 - used by Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PLC-5, SLC-500, and MicroLogix class devices
