Software Toolbox has been involved with Industrial Automation communications for over 20 years now and some of us for even longer. When you've done something for such a long time you can forget that many people in this industry or IT don’t know as much about the topic as they would like.
To help share the collective knowledge we've gained throughout the years, we're starting a series of articles on why protocols matter for getting the most out of your projects.
This introductory blog post to the series will discuss my insights starting out in this industry as an Applications Consultant at Software Toolbox with respect to just how important the actual communications protocol and understanding of its strengths and weaknesses can be to the success of a project.
