LIST OF AUTOMATION PROTOCOLS
This is a list of communication protocols used for the automation of processes (industrial or otherwise), such as for building automation, power-system automation, automatic meter reading, and vehicular automation.
Process Automation Protocols
- AS-i – Actuator-sensor interface, a low-level 2-wire bus establishing power and communications to basic digital and analogue devices.
