MTConnect provides a machine to machine or machine to enterprise communication vocabulary that ensures equipment with similar standardized functions can communicate.
Industrial Communication Protocols
Industrial Automation Protocols are designed to connect machine assets and manufacturing systems, enabling visibility into production performance and machine health.
Manufacturers can automate data collection by capturing machine data at the edge using a variety of industrial control system (ICS) protocols.
Search by industrial protocols to learn how they support the transfer of data as well as which equipment each is compatible with.
OPC UA
OPC-UA is a machine-to-machine and machine to enterprise communication protocol for industrial automation. Thus, it ensures diverse automation systems are compatible with one another within a unified architecture that facilitates interoperability.
EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP is a widely used industrial network protocol that adapts the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to standard Ethernet, enabling Internet and enterprise connectivity.
Fanuc FOCAS
FOCAS is the standard protocol for collecting data from FANUC Controls. FANUC controls are used worldwide by many well-known machine tool brands, including Tsugami, Citizen, STAR, Doosan and Matsuura
Modbus
Modbus is a serial communication protocol originally developed in 1979. A well known protocol historically used in SCADA systems, there exist many variants of Modbus protocols.
LSV/2
The LSV/2 protocol module has the ability to control robots, CNC machines, and other machine systems by transmitting machine-specific commands and responses with any LSV/2 compatible control.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols used to connect devices to the internet, and can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network.
IO-Link
IO-Link is a globally-recognized point-to-point serial communication protocol used to communicate with sensors and/or actuators.
Umati
Universal Machine Technology Interface (UMATI) facilitates the data exchange between machines, components, and installations and their integration into customer and user-specific IT ecosystems.
