Modem (Modulate/demodulate)
Computers use digital signal and some communication channel uses analog signals. Convert digital signal to an analog signal and vice versa
Transmission speed
speed at which modem transmit data measurement - bits per second (bps) or kilobits per second (kbps)

Bus network
All
computers and devices connect to central cable or bus Inexpensive and easy to install
Ring network
Cable
forms closed ring, or loop, with all computers and devices arranged along ring Data travels from device to device around entire ring, in one direction
Star network
All
devices connect to a central computer, called the hub All data transferred from one computer to another passes through hub

CANBUS
- controller-area network -vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer.
PROFIBUS
- The goal was to implement and spread the use of a bit-serial field bus based on the basic requirements of the field device interfaces.
