Abstract

Industry 4.0 is one of the rapidly growing technologies of present-day industries. The development of newer technologies such as cloud computing, internet of things and cyber-physical systems has brought a new revolution to the manufacturing industry. Interoperability among devices is one of the key goals of Industry 4.0. Modbus, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), UDP (User Datagram Protocol) are common protocols that are universally accepted by all manufacturers of Industrial Controllers. These protocols help in standardizing the data communication between different vendor controllers through the server–client architecture. In recent days, Open Platform Communications (OPC) have proven to be an effective technology to support interoperability and heterogeneity in control and automation applications. In this paper, a case study of common server–client communication protocols present in the industry through the implementation in industrial controllers has been presented. This research looks at the features of these communication protocols and their usage in the existing systems. OPC-UA communication has been compared with existing protocols such as Modbus, UDP, and TCP and its features to support Industry 4.0 are shown with comparative analysis.
