QuestionQ3

Network security

Match every industrial protocol with its corresponding characteristics.

Drag & Drop
EtherCAT
POWERLINK
Modbus
Ethernet over industrial protocol
Mainly used for the transmission of process data
Offers real-time data transmission in primary-secondary configuration
Uses client/server communication
Based entirely on Ethernet standards
Explanation

EtherCAT is optimized for cyclic process-data exchange, while POWERLINK provides deterministic real-time communication through its managing-node/controlled-node topology. Modbus follows a client/server model. Ethernet-based industrial protocols use Ethernet standards as their communication foundation.
