Industrial Control Networking refers to the systems and technologies used to connect and manage industrial equipment and processes. This networking enables communication between devices such as sensors, controllers, and actuators, allowing for real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing and production environments. These networks often utilize protocols like Ethernet, Modbus, and PROFIBUS to ensure reliable data exchange. By integrating Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices, companies can enhance operational efficiency, improve safety, and facilitate predictive maintenance, ultimately leading to increased productivity and reduced downtime.
