Various open network protocols are used for communications between devices over a network in the industrial segment. There are several protocols currently existing, and they are unlikely to be merged into a single protocol. Implementing one of these protocols from scratch requires many resources. There are R-IN Consortium partners who offer protocols for industrial network.

TCP/IP
Support for Ethernet is becoming mainstream not only in the industrial segment but in many types of networked devices. The industrial segment differs from general usage in that device size is limited, so often a more compact stack or a stack with higher speed real-time performance is required. There are R-IN Consortium partners who offer TCP/IP. You can find the most suitable TCP/IP stack for your application. For details, please contact our partners.
