Serial vs Ethernet Radios

There are many different communication protocols that can be used when selecting a radio. The type of protocol being used may depend on the application, time frame the hardware was installed, existing hardware that is already in place and many other factors. What is important to understand is that most of these protocols fall into two generic families: Serial-based protocols or Ethernet-based protocols. Examples of Serial-based protocols include: Modbus RTU, RS-232, RS-485 and Profibus. Examples of Ethernet-based protocols include: Modbus TCP, Ethernet IP and Profinet. The differences that exist in these protocols has a lot to do with data transmission speeds.

Serial-based protocols have a much more limited data transmission capacity compared to Ethernet-based protocols, however, they do not require a connection strength as strong as Ethernet-based protocols. This is beneficial in situations where the radio connection may be limited because of physical obstructions or long distances. Ethernet-based protocols have faster data transmission capabilities and are becoming much more common than Serial-based protocols. By understanding the differences between these two types of protocols, you will be better equipped to select the radio that will work best for your specific application.
