Industrial QoS (iQoS) ensures reliable communication by prioritizing critical protocols like PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and GOOSE in automation networks. These protocols require low latency and minimal packet loss for real-time control and monitoring. iQoS assigns higher transmission priority to these packets, ensuring they are processed before less critical traffic. PROFINET and EtherNet/IP benefit from QoS settings that prioritize cyclic data exchange between controllers and field devices. GOOSE messages in IEC 61850 networks rely on QoS to maintain fast and reliable communication for substation automation. By implementing iQoS, industrial networks enhance performance and operational stability.
