How does ControlNet work?
ControlNet is a communication protocol used in industrial automation systems. It is a deterministic, high-speed network that enables real-time communication between devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and other control devices. ControlNet uses a token-passing method to transmit data between nodes on the network, ensuring that only one node can transmit at a time. This means that data is transferred in a predictable and reliable way, ensuring that the automation system operates as intended. ControlNet also supports redundancy, allowing for automatic failover to backup controllers in the event of a network or device failure. Overall, ControlNet provides a robust and reliable communication platform for industrial automation applications.
