Factory Instrumentation Protocol (FIP) is a network protocol used to monitor and control industrial machinery, such as robots, conveyors, and production lines. It is designed to provide a reliable and secure communication interface between multiple devices, such as PLCs, computers, and sensors. FIP allows for the efficient exchange of data between devices, allowing for the monitoring and control of the entire production process. FIP enables the integration of different systems, allowing for the efficient exchange of data between multiple sites and systems. Additionally, FIP provides a secure connection between the devices, ensuring that data is not compromised.
