Believe me, I know there is a HUGE difference in the types. However, I need a clear way to explain to C-Level types what the benefits of using Fieldbus are. We have a conveyor processing up to 4 or 5 boxes per second. We have two systems, one moving the boxes, another system apply some process to the box. This "process" needs to know in real-time, the type of box in order to set up process and collecting information for each box. These guys seem to think that we can have a central server collecting information from the conveyor using <SOAP> (XML) and then send it to the processing controller.
Explain to me in C-Level (non-engineer) terms, why the benefits of Fieldbus in this application.
Edit: Additionally, we will likely need many pieces of information from this conveyor system.
