Briefly speaking, mechanical on/off control can only be controlled in two simple ways, ON/OFF. In contrast, Data Communication can control various functions by exchanging messages.
This page briefly introduces serial communication and TCP/IP.

Communication method
Serial Communication
The function is activated by serial communication.
It is a somewhat old method, but it is also used frequently now.
Famous standards include RS-232C and RS-485. A simple comparison table is provided, but please refer to the definition documents of each standard for detailed specifications.
Although this material does not enter detailed specifications,
In order to communicate, it is necessary to match the numerical value of each section as shown below.

TCP/IP
It is control using general network communication. It can control equivalent to serial communication. Unlike serial communication with short wiring distance, TCP / IP is characterized by being able to communicate even over long distances.

Remote Protocol
If serial communication or TCP/IP remote protocol is the communication method, it is the communication content itself. It is a collection of commands for operating devices through communication and collecting information from devices.
While serial communication and TCP/IP are the means of communication, the remote protocol is the content of the communication itself. It is a collection of commands for operating devices through communication and collecting information from devices. It's like a spell that moves equipment from a distance.

Different devices have different remote protocols, so a conversion interface is developed to link devices. This is like an interpreter that connects the intentions of people who speak different languages.
