Why HTTP Is Not Suitable as an IoT Protocol?

Why HTTP Is Not Suitable as an IoT Protocol?

Data packets sent by IoT smart devices must be encapsulated by the corresponding protocol at each layer. With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, most smart devices’ communication modules support various network communication protocols such as TCP, UDP, MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, and LwM2M, which include both transport layer and application layer protocols, … Read more

Learning MQTT Protocol: Structure of Communication Packets

Learning MQTT Protocol: Structure of Communication Packets

MQTT Packet Structure In the MQTT protocol, an MQTT packet consists of three parts: Fixed Header, Variable Header, and Payload. (1) Fixed Header. Present in all MQTT packets, indicating the packet type and group class identifier. (2) Variable Header. Present in some MQTT packets, the packet type determines whether the variable header exists and its … Read more

How to Achieve TCP/IP Communication Between Different PLC Networks in 7 Steps

How to Achieve TCP/IP Communication Between Different PLC Networks in 7 Steps

Introduction: In actual work environments, PLCs may communicate and exchange data. Typically, communication requires devices to be on the same network segment. However, what if our devices are not on the same segment? This article introduces how two PLCs can perform TCP/IP communication to exchange data when they are not on the same network segment. … Read more
