    This document discusses industrial control networks and AS-I networking in particular. It describes AS-I networking as a connection system for sensor and actuator-level devices that uses a master-slave configuration. Key components include an AS-I master, slaves, a power supply, and cabling. Communication occurs via a polling protocol that allows for high data rates. AS-I networking provides reliable and deterministic communication for industrial control applications.

    Networking PLCs with Profibus (and TCP/IP)

    Introduction
    ✓An industrial control network is a system of
    interconnected equipment used to monitor and control
    physical equipment in industrial environments.
    ✓ The role of the communication is exchanging of
    connection with a common computer in order to
    create and transmit the program to PLC and to
    transmit data to superior levels for operator’s control of
    technology
    ✓Industrial networks cover mainly production control,
    so it is very important to ensure high reliability,
    deterministic mode of communication and high power.
    ✓These networks differ quite significantly from
    traditional enterprise networks due to the specific
    requirements of their operation.
    Introduction cont..
    ✓ Typical differences between industrial and conventional networks
    Industrial Conventional
    Primary Function Control of physical Data processing and
    equipment transfer
    Applicable Domain Manufacturing, processing Corporate and home
    and utility distribution environments
    Hierarchy Deep, functionally Shallow, integrated
    separated hierarchies with hierarchies with uniform
    many protocol and physical
    protocols and physical standard utilization

    AS-I Networking
    ✓AS- stands for actuator/sensor interface.
    ✓It is a connection system for the lowest process level(i/o
    level) in process automation
    ✓ All as-I interface product compile with
    Sensor /Actuator level

    ✓ AS-Interface is a system that requires four basic
    components:
    1. Exactly one network master, in most cases in the form
    of a Gateway to a higher level industrial network or a
    PLC backplane card,
    2. A number of network slaves, in most cases input and
    output modules,
    3. Exactly one power supply used to power the network
    slaves and enabling communication with the network
    master, and
    4. The wiring infrastructure, in most case accomplished
    using the yellow flat cable. Connecting plugs –
    Vampires.
