Interconnections of WorldFIP, CAN and PROFIBUS fieldbuses over an ATM backbone

چکیده
Manufacturing automation systems are widespread and becoming more common across the world. Therefore, fieldbuses of automation systems in a factory plant becomes distant and dissimilar technologies from one another. Realtime interconnection between these fieldbuses is essential for the sustainability of automation. This study designs a system that provides a realtime, remote communication among WorldFIP, CAN, PROFIBUS fieldbuses over ATM backbone. Fieldbuses are connected to backbone with bridges. Using network simulation software under various message traffic, the designed system’s performance is investigated and the obtained results from the simulations are discussed. The results showed that fieldbuses can communicate with each other based on realtime requirements over ATM.

متن کاملPerformance Aspects of PROFIBUS Segments Interconnected through ATM
Field buses have been developed to fulfill real-time requirements of applications related to factory automation. However, they are limited in their extension, and can only cover geographical areas such as factory halls or buildings. In order to reduce this drawback a possible solution is to connect field bus segments using interworking devices and a backbone network. This backbone could be an A...
