Controller-to-controller (C2C) refers to direct communication between two or more control devices (controllers) within a network, often used in industrial automation systems. This technology enables controllers to exchange data and commands autonomously, which improves the efficiency and responsiveness of the overall system.
C2C communication reduces the need for manual intervention and centralized control, reducing system complexity and increasing operational reliability. This is particularly important in critical applications such as factory automation, where reliability and precision are crucial. By optimizing the interaction between machines, C2C technology supports advanced concepts of the smart factory and the Internet of Things (IoT).
