What is an Industrial Network?
An industrial network is a specialized communication system used in industrial environments to connect machinery, control systems, and production equipment. These networks are designed to meet strict requirements for reliability, security, and real-time communication—often in challenging and complex environments.
Why are Industrial Networks relevant?
Modern industry is about more than just machines—it’s about data flows, automation, and control. Industrial networks enable efficient production, remote monitoring, and real-time process control. They are essential for digitalization in everything from manufacturing to energy systems and transport.
Different types of Industrial Networks:
- Ethernet/IP: Used for real-time communication in automated systems.
- PROFINET: A robust protocol for industrial automation.
- Modbus: A simple and flexible communication protocol, often for machine control.
- SCADA networks: For monitoring and controlling industrial processes.
- Industrial 5G / Private LTE: Wireless, secure communication in factories and other production environments.
