Proposal of a communication protocol for smart sensory systems

Communication systems are the fundamental building block of almost all industrial applications. In process control nowadays, the mutual communication between different parts of the system a must. System type and environmental conditions determine the communication protocol suitable for the particular purpose. Various communication protocols differ in their robustness, complexity and deployment options in the area of interest. One of the protocols that excels in its simplicity, implementation options and their univesality is the MODBUS protocol. MODBUS protocol was designed in 1979 with a focus on the control of programmable logic blocks (PLC).
