Communication Challenges
 Various systems in a plant or building must

communicate with each other or to a
common control system
No common protocol in the industry
No single hardware supplier can provide
devices for all factory functions
Real world is not a controller speaking only
to a chain of slave devices
Data must be accessible at different points
for different uses
