This is a list of communication protocols used for the automation of processes (industrial or otherwise), such as for building automation, power-system automation, automatic meter reading, and vehicular automation.
oBIX (for Open Building Information Exchange) is a standard for RESTful Web Services-based interfaces to building control systems. oBIX is about reading and writing data over a network of devices using XML and URIs, within a framework specifically designed for building automation. Building control systems include those electrical and mechanical ...
BACnet is a communication protocol for building automation and control (BAC) networks that use the ASHRAE, ANSI, and ISO 16484-5 standards [1] protocol.. BACnet was designed to allow communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (), lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their ...
Among the larger vendors, there was also the incentive to create their own protocol to "lock in" their customer base. A list of automation protocols is compiled here. An example of efforts by vendor groups to standardize automation protocols is the OPC-UA (formerly "OLE for process control" now Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture).
The Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is an industrial protocol for industrial automation applications. It is supported by ODVA.. Previously known as Control and Information Protocol, [1] CIP encompasses a comprehensive suite of messages and services for the collection of manufacturing automation applications – control, safety, synchronization, motion, configuration and information.
Building automation (BAS), also known as building management system (BMS) or building energy management system (BEMS), is the automatic centralized control of a building's HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), electrical, lighting, shading, access control, security systems, and other interrelated systems. Some objectives of building ...
The first version of Profisafe was released as early as 1998. [4] A second version in 2005 also enabled use via the Ethernet-based Profinet. According to the PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V., by 2023 a total of almost 21,7 million devices with Profisafe will be placed on the market by the various manufacturers, and a further 2.8 million devices will be added each year.

It is a bus-based protocol that allows for passing on safety data over existing Industrial Ethernet connections between end devices and higher-level automation systems – connections principally established and used for regular monitoring and control purposes.
