Industrial Networking refers to the communication systems used in industrial environments to connect various devices, machines, and systems. This networking enables real-time data exchange, allowing for better monitoring, control, and automation of industrial processes. Common protocols used in industrial networking include Ethernet, Modbus, and PROFIBUS. These networks are essential for industries such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation, where efficiency and reliability are crucial. By integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, industrial networking enhances operational performance and supports predictive maintenance, ultimately leading to reduced downtime and increased productivity.
