Machines and digital technologies have become an integral part of our lives. Every day we interact with smartphones, laptops, and home appliances. This is enabled by user interfaces, the so-called HMIs.

To analyze factors affecting production processes, KPA Automation Data Analytics system is used. Reporting occurs in accordance with user settings.

In modern production, to organize networks, various industrial data transfer protocols are used: Modbus, CAN, PROFIBUS, Ethernet, and others. They provide connection and data transfer between industrial computers, controllers, sensors, and actuation devices.

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is an industrial network standard developed by Beckhoff (Germany) in 2003. It is one of the fastest data transfer protocols.
