The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is using whatever network gets its data where it needs to go on time
Showing up in the right place at the right time is more important than how we get there. The same is as true for moving data as it is for keeping human appointments.
Consequently, as if the Internet wasn’t already broad and inclusive enough, many reliable sources report it now includes all types of networking. They claim the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is no longer limited to its usual communications based transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP), hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or other traditional methods.
Apparently, other Ethernet protocols, fieldbuses, wireless and probably even serial communications are all fair game.
