What are the advantages and disadvantages of system architecture (industrial)?

Question

Automation

Tell me, please, what architecture of the system (industrial) happens?
Give, please, the list of architectures. I need to know the advantages and disadvantages.
At least a list of these system architectures. They hinted at "point-to-point", "star", "master slave" well, the first 2 are topologies, and the second, and the second, I don’t know what to attribute to ... like a device for broadcast notifications

Answer 1

"master - slave" is a model of the behavior of two devices between themselves. can be used in a variety of topologies and, accordingly, has nothing to do with topology. and there are a bunch of other behaviors for two or more devices.
system architecture is generally a big and vague concept. it includes both hardware and software and network topology and communication models / protocols and everything else on which the operation and stability of the system may depend,
I strongly advise you to go learn or at least listen to an audio video course on your question.
