Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the communication protocols commonly employed in Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems, including Modbus, Profibus, and EthernetIP. The goal of this study is to help engineers and practitioners choose the best protocol for industrial automation applications by examining the development, traits, benefits, drawbacks, features, and applications of different protocols. This research provides an in-depth examination of the existing literature and an analysis of real-world applications to provide valuable insights on the advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of each procedure in various industrial settings. Engineers and practitioners may choose the best protocol, implement it strategically, and optimize the network in PLC-based control systems by being aware of the subtleties of each protocol.The core of industrial automation is comprised of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), which provide the control and observation of a wide range of operations in manufacturing, utility, and other industries. For smooth functioning and coordination within the control system, PLCs and peripheral devices must communicate effectively. Three well-known PLC system communication protocolsModbus, Profibus, and EthernetIPare examined in this work. This work attempts to offer important insights into the choice and application of communication protocols in industrial automation contexts by following their development, examining important aspects, and weighing relevant factors.
