Which group Sierra Wireless RV55 belongs to and how it is built
Communication Modules is a subcategory of hardware components responsible for data transmission within a robotic system or between a robot and its external environment. It encompasses wired and wireless interfaces, including Ethernet, CAN, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth modules, and other communication elements. These modules are essential for integrating sensors, controllers, onboard computers, and network infrastructure.
The Ethernet Module is a component responsible for wired communication based on the Ethernet standard. In robotics, it can be used to connect with a control computer, plant network, controllers, sensors, and real-time systems. Ethernet is widely used in applications requiring higher bandwidth, transmission stability, and straightforward integration with existing IT or industrial infrastructure.
