Why we read it this way (8)

B&R Automation Studio and mapp Technology appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
'Industrial networking protocols' covers the posting's reference to machine-to-machine and higher-level communication protocols without naming a specific standard (e.g., EtherNet/IP, PROFINET); no specific protocol is named, so a generic skill name is used.
Bonus and/or equity upside is mentioned but no figures are given, so only the base salary range is captured.
