Industrial communication

Innovation for demanding applications

Industrial communication for networked production

Efficient production needs more than just smart machines – it needs seamless communication. In modern automation systems, fast, secure and flexible data flows between sensors, controllers and IT systems are crucial.

As an official development partner of Hilscher we provide support in the selection, integration and optimization of industrial communication solutions from PROFINET and EtherCAT to OPC UA. Together, we create the technical basis for networked, future-proof production systems and successful industrial IoT projects.

Industrial communication at a glance

Industrial networks rely on various communication protocols that offer different advantages depending on the application. We work with the most common protocols and develop customized solutions for our customers.

Fieldbus protocols

Fieldbus systems are frequently used in real-time control and automation networks. They are characterized by high stability and low latency times.

CAN bus (Controller Area Network)

  • Robust bus system, particularly suitable for embedded systems and mobile applications.
  • Widely used in vehicle and machine control systems
  • High reliability and real-time capabilities

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology)

  • Simple and widespread protocol
  • Supports both serial communication (RTU, ASCII) and Ethernet (Modbus TCP)

PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus)

  • Frequently used in automation technology
  • Supports both discrete and analog signal transmission

Ethernet-based protocols

Wireless communication is becoming increasingly important, especially in mobile and hard-to-access areas.

PROFINET

  • Real-time Ethernet communication
  • Supports standard Ethernet and industrial applications
  • Use in automation and production control

Modbus

  • High-precision and fast protocol for real-time applications
  • Particularly common in machine control and robotics

Ethernet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol)

  • Extension of standard Ethernet for industrial applications
  • High level of integration into automation networks

Wireless protocols

With increasing digitalization, many companies are turning to Ethernet-based protocols that offer greater bandwidth and flexibility.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

  • Energy-efficient wireless protocol
  • Used for IoT applications and wireless sensor networks
  • Use in building automation, condition monitoring and mobile applications

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network)

  • Long-range communication with low energy consumption
  • Used for monitoring and control in large areas

ZigBee

  • Low-energy protocol for wireless sensor networks
  • Suitable for IoT and building automation
