Fieldbus is the name of a family of industrial computer network protocols used for real-time distributed control, standardized as IEC 61158.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects.

The tags contain electronically stored information.

Passive tags collect energy from a nearby RFID reader's interrogating radio waves.

Active tags have a local power source such as a battery and may operate at hundreds of meters from the RFID reader.

Unlike a barcode, the tag need not be within the line of sight of the reader, so it may be embedded in the tracked object.

RFID is one method for Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC).

The user interface (UI), in the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur.

The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, whilst the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process.

Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls, and process controls.

The design considerations applicable when creating user interfaces are related to or involve such disciplines as ergonomics and psychology.

AS-Interface (Actuator Sensor Interface, AS-i) is an industrial networking solution (physical layer, data access method and protocol) used in PLC, DCS and PC-based automation systems.

It is designed for connecting simple field I/O devices (e.g. binary ON/OFF devices such as actuators, sensors, rotary encoders, analog inputs and outputs, push buttons, and valve position sensors) in discrete manufacturing and process applications using a single 2-conductor cable.

In the broadest definition, a sensor is an electronic component, module, or subsystem whose purpose is to detect events or changes in its environment and send the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor.

A sensor is always used with other electronics, whether as simple as a light or as complex as a computer.
