Abstract
Industrial communication networks differ from other types of networks because these applications are responsible for the control and monitoring of a physical process. In this paper, we will summarise the requirements that users specify for these networks, present the state of art on field buses, factory and cell communication networks and indicate current research directions.
RésumRé
Les réseaux locaux industriels diffèrent des autres types de reseaux car leurs applications sont responsables de la commande et de la surveillance ďun processus physique. Dans cet article, les auteurs résument les spécifications des utilisateurs de ces réseaux, présentent ľétat de ľart dans le domaine des réseaux de terrain, de cellule et ľusine et donnent les directions de recherches actuelles.
