Standardized IoT Protocols vs Legacy Industrial Protocols
Developers should learn and use standardized IoT protocols when building IoT systems to ensure compatibility between devices from different manufacturers, reduce development time with pre-defined specifications, and enhance security through tested frameworks meets developers should learn legacy industrial protocols when working with brownfield industrial systems, retrofitting old equipment, or maintaining critical infrastructure where upgrading is costly or impractical. Here's our take.
Standardized IoT Protocols
Developers should learn and use standardized IoT protocols when building IoT systems to ensure compatibility between devices from different manufacturers, reduce development time with pre-defined specifications, and enhance security through tested frameworks
Standardized IoT Protocols
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use standardized IoT protocols when building IoT systems to ensure compatibility between devices from different manufacturers, reduce development time with pre-defined specifications, and enhance security through tested frameworks
Pros
- +Specific use cases include implementing MQTT for lightweight messaging in remote monitoring, CoAP for constrained devices in smart agriculture, and LoRaWAN for long-range communication in smart city deployments
- +Related to: mqtt, coap
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Legacy Industrial Protocols
Developers should learn legacy industrial protocols when working with brownfield industrial systems, retrofitting old equipment, or maintaining critical infrastructure where upgrading is costly or impractical
Pros
- +They are essential for industrial IoT projects that integrate legacy devices into modern networks, ensuring compatibility and data acquisition from existing machinery in sectors like manufacturing, utilities, and oil and gas
- +Related to: modbus, profibus
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Standardized IoT Protocols if: You want specific use cases include implementing mqtt for lightweight messaging in remote monitoring, coap for constrained devices in smart agriculture, and lorawan for long-range communication in smart city deployments and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Legacy Industrial Protocols if: You prioritize they are essential for industrial iot projects that integrate legacy devices into modern networks, ensuring compatibility and data acquisition from existing machinery in sectors like manufacturing, utilities, and oil and gas over what Standardized IoT Protocols offers.
