dialogue entre les equipements

French to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing specifications of processed food production line
This is a heading in this document, which concerns a poultry processing production line that manufactures chicken nuggets, burgers, etc. Clearly it literally means "dialogue between equipment" but is there is better way of expressing this in English please, this really isn't my area of expertise. Many thanks!

Context Hi, the full heading is: "Les limites de fourniture des dispositifs de securite, du traitement des informations, des dialogues entre les equipements" and the whole of the text relating to this heading is as follows:
"Definir la liste des interconnections, des dialogues (marche, arret, defauts, securite bourrage, consignes de vitesse, etc.)." Not much to go on I'm afraid.
