28. A manufacturing company has recently acquired a new production line that uses the Profinet protocol. The goal is to integrate this new line with the existing control system based on Modbus to optimize production and reduce costs.
a) Analyze the different integration options, such as gateways, protocol bridges, and integration software.
b) Design a communication interface between the two protocols, considering aspects such as data format, communication speed, and synchronization.
c) Propose measures to optimize the communication performance between the two systems and minimize response times.
