An industrial communication network is a backbone for any automation system
architecture as it has been providing a powerful means of data exchange, data controllability, and flexibility to connect various devices. LAN (Local Area Network, which is used in a limited area) or WAN (Wide Area Network which is used as global system) enabled to communicate vast amounts of data using a limited number of channels. Industrial communication network is a special type of network made to handle real-time control and data integrity in harsh environments over large installations. The examples of industrial communication networks include Ethernet, DeviceNet, Modbus, ControlNet, and so on. A fieldbus is another local control area network used for real-time distributed control systems in complex automated industrial systems. It is a digital two-way multidrop communication link between controllers and intelligent field devices such as smart sensors/actuators/transducers. It replaces the conventional point-to-point communication system that consists of as many wire pairs as the number of field devices.
