简介
Choosing the right communication protocol is critical for industrial IoT deployments. This comprehensive guide compares MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) for industrial automation applications, providing performance benchmarks, bandwidth analysis, and implementation recommendations.
根据您的使用场景、网络基础设施和设备能力，两种协议各有明显优势。理解这些差异将帮助您为工业4.0实施做出明智的决策。
协议概述
文章MQTTHTTPMQTT
MQTT is a lightweight, publish-subscribe messaging protocol designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth networks. It's an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 20922) specifically optimized for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.

结论
For most industrial IoT applications, MQTT is the recommended protocol due to its superior bandwidth efficiency, lower latency, and better support for constrained devices and unreliable networks.
然而，HTTP/REST在Web集成、云平台连接以及调试简单性和生态系统兼容性优先的场景中仍然很有价值。
最佳方法通常涉及混合架构，使用MQTT进行设备通信和现场协议，使用HTTP/REST进行企业集成和云平台连接。
