CyBro A-bus
CyBro A-bus is an industrial automation communication protocol developed by Cybrotech Ltd., typically used for managing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and automation systems. By operating on port 8442, it facilitates supervisory control and integration of field devices in industrial environments. This port supports both TCP and UDP for flexible communication in industrial networks..
CyBro A-bus is a proprietary protocol utilized primarily in Cybrotech Ltd.'s automation hardware and software products. It enables real-time data exchange between programmable controllers, control panels, and supervisory systems, simplifying process monitoring and control tasks in manufacturing and industrial settings. This port, 8442, serves as the endpoint for these communications over both TCP and UDP transport layers, offering reliability and multicast capabilities respectively for efficient data handling.
Typical deployments involve a master device or server communicating with multiple slave devices or remote I/O modules. The protocol ensures synchronized operations and supports configuration, firmware updates, and data logging. Because of its dual-stack support (TCP and UDP), it can adapt to different network topologies and performance requirements, balancing reliability with speed.
CyBro A-bus usually operates within closed industrial networks isolated from public Internet exposure. Integration into SCADA systems or Industrial IoT setups often demands specific gateways or middleware capable of translating A-bus communication into standardized formats, like OPC or MQTT, facilitating broader system interoperability.
