How to Choose Serialization Protocols in MQTT Messaging: Text Serialization vs. Binary Serialization

Serialization of String Messages In the previous article, we used the <span>MQTTnet</span> framework to implement an MQTT server, an MQTT publisher process, and an MQTT subscriber process. During the messaging process, we directly passed the string from the console. Since MQTT is an application layer protocol, it is based on TCP for data transmission. We … Read more

Exploring the MQTT Protocol | From Basics to Applications

MESSAGE QUEUING TELEMETRY TRANSPORTWhat is the “MQTT” Protocol? MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a standard (ISO/IEC PRF 20922) based on the publish-subscribe paradigm. It operates on top of the TCP/IP protocol and is designed for remote devices with limited hardware capabilities and poor network conditions, making it a publish/subscribe messaging protocol that is lightweight, … Read more

EtherCAT: The ‘Nervous System’ of Robot Evolution in the Era of Embodied Intelligence

In the wave of embodied intelligence, robots are evolving from “programmed mechanical arms” in laboratories to integrated agents of “perception-decision-execution”. In this process, communication protocols act as the robot’s “nervous system”, determining its action precision, collaboration efficiency, and adaptability to various scenarios. The EtherCAT technology represents a core breakthrough in this evolution. Guoxun Chip Micro … Read more

Introduction to Fieldbus Technology: Applications of MODBUS, CANopen, and PROFIBUS

In industrial automation, communication between devices is a crucial aspect. Whether it is sensors, actuators, PLCs, or industrial computers, they all need to “talk” to each other in some way. Fieldbus technology was born to solve this problem. Today, I will introduce you to three common fieldbus technologies: MODBUS, CANopen, and PROFIBUS, discussing their basic … Read more
