Computer Communication

This resource, presented by the Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), is an animation that shows computer communication. According to the animation, "communication between computers and industrial devices takes place through a protocol," which serves as "a handshake between the computer and the machine to agree which language they are using." The animation also introduces viewers to the different "languages" that computers use to communicate, including IP, UDP, TCP, HTTP, Telnet, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, and more. An .mp4 that runs 02:38 minutes in length is also included.
