Communications Protocols

Benefit from a wide range of supported communication protocols extending to various industries.

Connect your devices via dedicated I/O modules, Ethernet or Serial interfaces, or leverage specific I/O Modules.
All solutions are turnkey and come with Simulink^®driver blocks for a seamless workflow.

Cross-Industry Protocols

CAN - CAN FD, CAN + SAE J1939, LIN
Serial - RS-422 / RS-485 / RS-232
SPI
I²C
Real-Time UDP, Raw Ethernet
PTP (Precision Time Protocol)
MQTT
Shared Memory
Aurora
IRIG with GPS
MVB / WTB
Data Distribution Service (DDS) Middleware
