2025-12-29   

Industrial network bus, as the "nerve center" of intelligent manufacturing, is a key underlying technology supporting the development of new industrialization. Recently, at the 7th National Conference on Standardization of Industrial Process Measurement, Control and Automation held in Chongqing, the Industrial Network Bus (AUTBUS) Professional Committee of the China Association for Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Technology Applications announced its establishment and simultaneously launched the revision of three key industry standards. Industry insiders believe that this marks the new stage of industrialization and promotion of AUTBUS industrial network bus technology independently developed by China, which will help China achieve full link independent innovation in the field of industrial communication from bottom protocols, core chips to upper applications, and build a safe and reliable industrial Internet infrastructure. Independent technology breakthrough: Building industrial safety protection barriers. Industrial network bus is a dedicated communication network used in industrial automation systems to connect field devices (such as sensors, actuators, controllers). It serves as the underlying data transmission channel, enabling data exchange and collaborative control between devices. In recent years, industrial control networks have become an important target of global cyber attacks. Security vulnerabilities in industrial communication systems may lead to security incidents, directly threatening the stable operation of some critical areas. For a long time, China's industrial data interfaces have been dominated by foreign systems such as OPC UA, and key ecological links and certification systems are subject to human control. Potential risks such as industrial data leakage and loss of control of key equipment have always existed, becoming security hazards that restrict the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. The autonomous and controllable nature of industrial communication is a prerequisite for ensuring industrial security. ”Cheng Yuan, Secretary General of the Industrial Network (AUTBUS) Professional Committee of the China Association for Integrated Mechatronics Technology, pointed out that China has long faced three core pain points in the field of industrial network buses: high system integration costs caused by protocol fragmentation and limited data sharing capabilities; The traditional bus has insufficient bandwidth and real-time performance, which makes it difficult to carry mass data transmission requirements such as machine vision, laser radar point cloud, and cutting-edge applications such as multi axis robot precision collaboration, and is not compatible with the next generation Internet IPv6 technology; The low localization rate makes the supply chain vulnerable to external influences, highlighting safety risks. The AUTBUS technology, led by Neuron, a joint venture company of Dongtu Technology, has achieved full chain autonomous controllability from protocol, chip to application through more than ten years of research and development, providing a systematic solution to solve the above pain points. This technology innovatively introduces OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology from the field of wireless communication into industrial wired communication, deeply coupled with TSN mechanism, and successfully overcomes the global challenge of synchronous implementation of "high bandwidth, high real-time performance, long-distance transmission, and high reliability". More importantly, AUTBUS has significantly improved industrial systems through a unified semantic system, broadband communication capabilities, and autonomous data interfaces. In key industries such as energy, rail transit, and chemical engineering, this technology can build more reliable safety barriers and fundamentally enhance the security defense capabilities in critical areas. At present, AUTBUS has become a national standard and an IEC international standard, which means that for the first time, China has the ability to independently control the entire chain of industrial communication semantics, data interfaces, protocol standards, and chips, completely changing the passive situation of being controlled by others for a long time. Industrial empowerment and upgrading: activating new momentum in the "billion level" market. With the rapid development of emerging industries such as robots, intelligent vehicles, and high-end equipment, the market's demand for independent, highly reliable, and real-time industrial network bus systems is becoming increasingly urgent. It is predicted that by 2030, China's key industries such as robotics, industrial control, and automobiles will form a domestic industrial network bus chip market with a scale of "billions of chips". The industrialization promotion of AUTBUS technology is injecting core impetus into the formation of this market. In the field of robotics, the development of embodied intelligence has put forward extreme requirements for the performance of communication buses. Currently, as the degrees of freedom of humanoid robots continue to increase and the number of sensors continues to increase, traditional CAN buses are no longer able to meet the transmission requirements of high-precision synchronous control and multimodal perception data in terms of bandwidth and transmission rate. Some high-performance buses also have problems such as high cost and poor topology flexibility. AUTBUS, with its high bandwidth, low latency, and deterministic network characteristics, has built a highly autonomous and responsive 'nervous system' for robots, which can support synchronous and precise control of hundreds of joint motors throughout the body, achieving seamless transmission and processing of multimodal data such as vision, force perception, and environmental perception. ”Xue Baihua, Vice President of Beijing Dongtu Technology Co., Ltd. and President of Neuron Information Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., introduced it. As a technology creator and leader, Dongtu Technology has been deeply involved in the research and development and construction of robot related products, with a focus on supporting the creation of a "big brain" integrated electronic architecture. Relying on its deep industrial scene accumulation and industrial chain resources, Dongtu Technology is promoting the rapid introduction of robot technology into high-value scenarios such as industrial manufacturing and power inspection for verification. This collaborative model of "technology research and development+scenario verification" can not only improve the underlying control performance and system stability of robot products, accelerate the achievement of their "fully autonomous" and "universal" goals, but also continuously optimize AUTBUS technology in practice and cultivate new industrial growth curves. In the fields of intelligent vehicles and energy, the empowering effect of AUTBUS is equally significant. The group standard "AUTBUS Vehicle Bus" launched this time will provide core support for the new generation of electronic and electrical architecture of "central computing+regional control" for intelligent vehicles, in order to solve the high-speed and deterministic transmission problems of massive sensor data in the car; The "Technical Specification for High speed Bus in Oil and Gas Field" has solved the problems of long monitoring distance, complex environment, and concurrent transmission of multiple business data in oil and gas pipelines. It has been successfully verified in major national projects such as the "West East Gas Pipeline". As of now, AUTBUS related products and solutions have been demonstrated and applied in multiple key industries such as robotics, oil and gas, electricity, and automobiles, demonstrating good industrial driving effects. Industry insiders point out that the widespread application of AUTBUS will provide a unified communication base for emerging industries such as smart factories, industrial robots, and new energy vehicles, promoting the acceleration of manufacturing towards networking, intelligence, and green direction. Standard system construction: Enhancing the international discourse power of industrial communication. Standards are not only the "barometer" of industrial development, but also the core carrier for enhancing international discourse power. The establishment of the Industrial Network Bus (AUTBUS) Professional Committee of the China Association for Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Technology Application marks a new stage of AUTBUS technology from the stage of "technological innovation and standard setting" to the stage of "industrial collaboration and ecological co construction". As the first national localized industrial network bus social organization in China, the special committee brings together resources from universities, research institutes, key enterprises, and user units to promote joint innovation among industry, academia, research, and application, and comprehensively promote and standardize AUTBUS technology. The three standard revision work launched simultaneously this time is not isolated, but a breakthrough in key vertical fields under the unified technical framework of AUTBUS. ”Cheng Yuan stated that in addition to standards related to vehicle buses and high-speed oil and gas field buses, the revision of the "Robot Communication Bus Protocol" will focus on the communication challenges of extreme synchronization and group collaboration between joints of embodied intelligent robots, laying a standard foundation for robot "hand foot coordination" and "group intelligence". The implementation of these three standards will further standardize the industry application of AUTBUS technology, lower the application threshold of advanced technology, and help small and medium-sized enterprises adopt it conveniently. As the leader of the Industrial Internet Underlying Basic Technology Working Group of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Dongtu Technology has completed the whole chain layout of industrial communication from standard formulation, chip research and development to international connectivity testing, and has initially established China's independent industrial communication and data interface standard system. Relying on the inherent advantages of AUTBUS as an IEC international standard, Dongtu Technology is enhancing its international discourse power in the field of industrial communication through the 'three-step' strategy. ”Xue Baihua's introduction: Firstly, using the special committee as a hub to build a solid domestic ecological foundation, forming a solid industrial foundation and rich application cases; Collaborate with upstream and downstream to promote independent core hardware and build a solid technological foundation; Ultimately, we will proactively connect with mainstream international ecological organizations, promote the integration of technical solutions and standard achievements into more international application guidelines and industry norms, and achieve a transformation from "technology following" to "parallel running" and even "local leading". Xue Baihua said that in the future, the evolution of AUTBUS technology will focus on the core direction of "integration of computing and network" to achieve the coordinated scheduling of communication and computing tasks and better serve distributed intelligence; At the same time, we will continue to deepen cooperation with users and integrators in various industries, promote standardization through research and development, and form a large-scale industrial chain; Promote the empowerment of robots and create "autonomous nerves" to accelerate the industrialization of embodied intelligence.
