Regarding industrial communication protocols, consider the following:
1. Modbus is a widely used serial communication protocol in industrial automation.
2. Profinet is an Ethernet-based protocol used for high-speed data exchange.
3. Standard RS-232 cables can be used for communication over several kilometers without repeaters.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer & step-by-step solution
Modbus is a widely used industrial protocol with serial variants such as Modbus RTU and Ethernet variant Modbus TCP. RS-232 is intended for relatively short point-to-point links and is not a several-kilometre physical layer without converters/repeaters. Key relation: RS-485 is preferred for longer multidrop serial links compared with RS-232.
Exam focus: Match protocol and physical layer; they are not the same concept. Common trap: RS-232 distance is limited.

औद्योगिक संचार प्रोटोकॉल के संबंध में निम्नलिखित पर विचार कीजिए:
1. Modbus औद्योगिक स्वचालन में व्यापक रूप से प्रयुक्त सीरियल संचार प्रोटोकॉल है।
2. Profinet उच्च-गति डेटा विनिमय के लिए प्रयुक्त Ethernet-आधारित प्रोटोकॉल है।
3. मानक RS-232 केबल बिना रिपीटर के कई किलोमीटर तक संचार के लिए उपयोग की जा सकती है।
ऊपर दिए गए कथनों में से कौन-सा/से सही है/हैं?
उत्तर और चरणबद्ध हल
B — केवल 1 और 2। Modbus (RTU सीरियल, TCP Ethernet) और Profinet (Ethernet-आधारित) सही हैं। RS-232 कम दूरी के पॉइंट-टू-पॉइंट लिंक के लिए है; लंबी दूरी के लिए RS-485 बेहतर है।

ઔદ્યોગિક સંચાર પ્રોટોકોલ અંગે નીચેનું ધ્યાનમાં લો:
1. Modbus ઔદ્યોગિક ઓટોમેશનમાં વ્યાપક રીતે વપરાતો સીરિયલ સંચાર પ્રોટોકોલ છે.
2. Profinet ઊંચી ઝડપના ડેટા વિનિમય માટે વપરાતો Ethernet-આધારિત પ્રોટોકોલ છે.
3. પ્રમાણભૂત RS-232 કેબલ રિપીટર વિના ઘણા કિલોમીટર સુધી સંચાર માટે વાપરી શકાય છે.
ઉપર આપેલાં વિધાનોમાંથી કયું/કયાં સાચું/સાચાં છે?
જવાબ અને પગલાવાર ઉકેલ
B — ફક્ત 1 અને 2. Modbus (RTU સીરિયલ, TCP Ethernet) અને Profinet (Ethernet-આધારિત) સાચાં છે. RS-232 ટૂંકા અંતરની પોઇન્ટ-ટુ-પોઇન્ટ લિંક માટે છે; લાંબા અંતર માટે RS-485 વધુ યોગ્ય છે.
