Bus Technologies
PROFIBUS
Profibus is a vendor independent, open field bus standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing and process automation. Profibus allows communication between devices of different manufacturers without any special interface adjustment. Profibus can be used for both high speed time critical applications and complex communication tasks. Profibus offers functional graduated communication protocols with various transmissions technologies (including RS-485 and fiber optics).
The use of Profibus in process engineering systems can achieve cost saving of more than 40% in planning, cabling, commissioning & maintenance and offers significant increase in functionality and security.
PROFIBUS DP
DP is the most frequently used communications profile. It is optimized for speed, efficiency and low connection costs, and is designed especially for communications between automation systems and distributed peripherals. Profibus DP is suitable as a replacement for conventional, parallel signal transmission as well as for analogue signal transmission with 4..20mA or HART in process automation.
PROFIBUS PA
Profibus PA (process automation) is based on the DP communication profile. The PA profile defines the device parameters and behavior of typical field devices such as measuring transducers or positioners independent of the manufacturer. Profibus PA allows the addition or removal of field devices even in intrinsically safe areas without influencing other devices and provides a bus supply using simply two-wire technology.
FOUNDATION FIELD BUS
FOUNDATION fieldbus provides explicit synchronization of control and communication for precise, periodic execution of control functions without dead-time or jitter introduced by communications. It delivers time distribution to fieldbus devices for support of Function Block scheduling and alarm time-stamping at the point of detection. The use of Function Blocks allows basic features in measurement and control to be consistently implemented in devices from different manufacturers. Thus, the time required for operator training, maintenance and engineering will be reduced. Control engineers will be able to apply Function Blocks to solve problems without becoming experts in using the Function Blocks of 10 or 20 different vendors. Foundation fieldbus is suited to high speed or time critical control applications.
ASI BUS
ASi Bus (Actuator Sensor Interface) is the simplest automation networking solution. It is the ideal choice for networking sensors and actuators in factory automation and process control environments. AS-Interface is a cost efficient, feature rich alternative to conventional cabling using a single cable to connect devices to a host controller. AS-Interface is proven in hundreds of thousands of products and applications spanning the entire automation spectrum.
