Understanding Industrial Protocol Gateways
Modbus, BACnet, KNX, SNMP, OPC UA, MQTT, IEC 104 and IEC 61850 — what each one is for, and how to choose the right conversion for a project.
Series 01 — Connectivity Fundamentals
About this webinar
A map of the protocol landscape for engineers who have to choose, not memorise. Each protocol is placed by where it is normally found, what it is good at, and what it cannot do — so a gateway is selected for a reason rather than by habit.
What you will learn
- Building protocols: BACnet and KNX, and where each is used
- Industrial protocols: Modbus, Siemens S7, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP
- IT and IIoT interfaces: SNMP, OPC UA, MQTT and HTTP
- Energy and utility protocols: M-Bus, DL/T 645, IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 61850
- Wireless where cabling is impractical: LoRaWAN and its limits
- How to read a product datasheet: direction, role, point capacity and interfaces
Who should attend
- Automation and BMS engineers
- Engineers new to industrial protocols
- Technical sales and pre-sales engineers
- Facility and maintenance engineers
