Many different network types have been promoted for use in control systems. In this article, we compare three of them: the Ethernet bus, with carrier sense multiple access collision detection, token-passing bus (e.g., ControlNet), and controller area DeviceNet). We consider how each can be used as a communication backbone networked system connecting sensors, actuators, controllers. A detailed discussion medium sublayer protocol is provided. For protocol, study key parameters corresponding...

Smart manufacturing (SM) is a term generally applied to the improvement in operations through integration of systems, linking physical and cyber capabilities, taking advantage information including leveraging big data evolution. SM adoption has been occurring unevenly across industries, thus there an opportunity look other industries determine solution roadmap paths for such as biochemistry or biology. The evolution affords managing significantly larger amounts acting on it with analytics...
