Protokollakäännökset, or protocol translations, refer to the process of converting data from one communication protocol to another. This is often necessary when different systems or devices need to interact but use incompatible communication standards. For example, a legacy system might use a proprietary protocol, while a modern network uses TCP/IP. A protocol translator acts as an intermediary, receiving data in one format, understanding its meaning, and then re-encoding it into the target protocol's format before sending it on.
The need for protocol translations arises in various scenarios. In industrial automation, different machines from various
The implementation of protocol translation can take several forms. Dedicated hardware devices, often called gateways or
