Features: Industrial control networks, represented by fieldbus, have become an important technology in the new generation of industrial control systems. They are the specific implementation of computer network technology at the bottom layer of industrial control. This book introduces the basic knowledge of industrial control networks from two aspects: data communication technology and the OSI seven-layer reference model of computer networks. It focuses on discussing three widely used fieldbus technologies in China—CAN, DeviceNet, and PROFIBUS-DP. It comprehensively analyzes their technical characteristics, protocol specifications, and communication interface design methods, and provides simple application examples. This book can serve as a teaching reference for related courses on industrial control networks in colleges and universities for majors such as automation, mechatronics, and instrumentation. It can also be used as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in the design and development of industrial control network systems.
