Improving Network-Based Industrial Automation Data Protocols (Linux Journal)
Bryce Nakatani
writes about issues involved with running industrial automation
over TCP/IP connections.
"TCP/IP breaks into industrial automation, but not without some problems.
The industrial automation sector is rapidly advancing into the
use of TCP/IP over Ethernet as a replacement for traditional data
connectivity. Many of these devices implement application protocols that
mirror their older cousins. With the implementation of IP, the operation,
flexibility and reliability of these devices may be jeopardized due
to oversights in the implementation of sockets as a new connection
medium. In this article I will discuss many issues I've stumbled
over while dealing with these issues. I'll also present solutions
that future data protocols may improve on."
