Guide to Troubleshooting Industrial Communication Protocols: EtherCAT vs Profinet 0 ▲ A High-Frequency and Underestimated Technical Blind Spot: Port Configuration Errors When Switching Communication Protocols As a veteran in industrial control for ten years, I have seen too many engineers stumble during the selection and debugging of communication protocols. Especially when switching from Profinet to … Read more
Industrial 4.0 Bus – Profibus What is Profibus? [PROFIBUS] PROFIBUS is a fieldbus standard used in automation technology, promoted in 1987 by Siemens and fourteen other companies along with five research institutes. PROFIBUS stands for PROcess FIeld BUS. PROFIBUS and PROFINET, which is used in industrial Ethernet, are two different communication protocols. PROFIBUS is an … Read more

PROFIBUS, as a standard fieldbus protocol launched by Siemens, has become an important link connecting various devices and control systems. This article … Read more
1. Introduction to PROFINET and PROFIBUS PROFINET and PROFIBUS are two fieldbuses launched by the PNO organization, first implemented by Siemens. The two are not comparable; PROFINET is based on industrial Ethernet, while PROFIBUS is based on RS485 serial bus. Due to the different media, the protocols of the two are completely different and have … Read more
Follow us | Discover more exciting content Alright, I will write this technical article about PLC communication protocols as “Pig Brother”. Hello everyone, today we will talk about the “nervous system” of industrial automation – PLC communication protocols. In the industrial field, data transmission between devices is as important as the human nervous system. This … Read more
1. UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) The host and slave must connect at least three wires: RX, TX, and GND. TX is used for sending data, while RX is for receiving data (the transmission and reception are not on the same line, hence it is full-duplex). Basic Characteristics: Asynchronous Communication: No shared clock signal, relies on … Read more
“A detailed explanation of the Serial Peripheral Interface and its communication applications with memory, displays, Wi-Fi modules, and SD cards.” In a previous article, I explored the astonishing convenience of interfacing modern OLED displays with bare-metal microcontrollers. My point is simple: in most embedded applications, using a complete Linux SoC platform (like Raspberry Pi) is … Read more
Digital power modules utilize various communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, etc., as well as interaction protocols based on these, such as CANopen, SAE 1939, SMbus, PMbus, Modbus, etc. This article simulates a Q&A session regarding I2C communication knowledge. Question 1: What are the components of I2C communication, and what are their functions? … Read more
