| Equipment Type | It is recommended that you classify equipment based on their type and the PLC protocol they use. For example: among 10 equipment, there are 8 press machines and 2 ovens. Out of the 8 press machines, 3 machine use PLCs with Protocol A, while the others use Protocol B. Both ovens use PLC with Protocol A. In this case, the equipment types would be "Press with Protocol A," "Press with Protocol B," and "Oven with Protocol A." This approach helps better manage subsequent automated data collection. |
| Protocol | The communication protocol of the PLC for equipment under this device type. |
