   CC-Link Industrial Networks – Supported by the CLPA; CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) – can be treated as application layer common to DeviceNet, CompoNet, ControlNet and EtherNet/IP; ControlNet – an implementation of CIP, originally by Allen-Bradley; DeviceNet – an implementation of CIP, originally by Allen-Bradley

5. Programmable logic controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_controller

   A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is an industrial computer that has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines, machines, robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability, ease of programming, and process fault diagnosis.

6. SCADA - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCADA

   In remote applications, such as a large water treatment plant, PLCs may connect directly to SCADA over a wireless link, or more commonly, utilise an RTU for the communications management. PLCs are specifically designed for control and were the founding platform for the IEC 61131-3 programming languages. For economical reasons, PLCs are often ...

7. Distributed control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_control_system

   A distributed control system (DCS) is a computerized control system for a process or plant usually with many control loops, in which autonomous controllers are distributed throughout the system, but there is no central operator supervisory control. This is in contrast to systems that use centralized controllers; either discrete controllers ...
