Abstract— This paper is devoted to the problem of data transfer rates between automation devices and cloud services. The possibilities of the device connection to the automation systems are described, their time characteristic are determined. The connections are compared and evaluated accordingly to their compliance with the current requirements of Industry 4.0. The decision about the possibilities of their implementation in modern Cyber
Physical Production Systems is made.

INTRODUCTION
The modern world puts forward a number of requirements to devices, including a method of communication between them. Such requirements are fixed in a number of recommendations. Example of these recommendations is Industry 4.0 developed by the
German government, so called 4th industrial revolution that was caused by implementation of the integrated autonomous system that communicate with each other via the Internet. In industry this technologies are integrated in so-called Cyber-Physical Production Systems – CPPS with intelligent machines, systems of data and resources storage that can share independently different types of information and control signals [1]. Their implementation can significantly streamline production processes, usage of resources, as well as life-cycle management of the enterprise. In the Industry 4.0 guidelines, among other things is mentioned a requirement to optimize the interaction of the elements of automation systems.
Interaction of the system components on different levels should be more transparent and flexible and this can be achieved only by using the same technology on the level
