The significance of data in both IT and OT domains is growing as the fourth industrial revolution progresses.
However, due to the presence of various protocols connecting supply companies, difficulties arise in establishing data connections and expanding interoperability between them.
To solve these difficulties, Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology has emerged.
TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) is a next-generation industrial network integration standard that defines various standard protocols
that used to make up industrial networks to be harmonized within one huge standard called TSN.
By using TSN, real-time communication and compatibility between industrial networks can be expanded, making it a key element in constructing smart factory networks.
WMX offers hybrid communication that meets these technological standards.

What is Hybrid Communication with open architecture?
WMX's Hybrid Communication option supports over two communications such as EtherCAT, CC-Link IE TSN, and MECHATROLINK-4 on a single PC.
The reason WMX can support hybrid communication is due to Movensys' open architecture called Moventecture.
WMX consists of Movetecture, which defines multiple communication protocols within its interface. This enables WMX to support various network communications.
