Industrial Communication Protocols

This course provides a practical understanding of industrial communication protocols used in Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing environments. It introduces the role of communication technologies in connecting machines, sensors, controllers, gateways, and cloud platforms. Participants learn the fundamentals of MQTT, CoAP, and MTConnect for industrial and IoT communication. The course covers LoRa and Wi-Fi technologies for wireless industrial connectivity. It also explains Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for low-power device communication and data exchange. Participants explore HTTP and OPC UA for system integration, data communication, and interoperability. The course explains how different protocols support Industrial IoT, machine monitoring, and real-time data exchange. It introduces protocol selection based on communication range, data requirements, reliability, and application needs. Participants gain an understanding of connecting industrial devices with edge, cloud, and enterprise systems. The course helps learners understand communication architecture and protocol implementation concepts for Industry 4.0 applications.
