Web (IT standard technology)
This is the umbrella term for a number
of standardized communication proto-
cols in the IT world that can be used
within a local facility as well as via
the Internet. It includes protocols that
enable users to communicate with
their plants and products, such as graphic user interfaces
operable with Web browsers, e-mail messages to mainte-
nance personnel or loading firmware modifications. In
addition, there is a growing number of protocol types that
support direct communication between machinery, such
as exchange of device administration information or so-
called “Web services” for linking plants even beyond the
scope of building automation, such as with distributed
facilities, infrastructure projects and energy management
systems.
