The communication-capable SIRIUS Innovations from Siemens provide the user with a
uniform automation solution. Automation functions can be implemented consistently, from
field devices through to the control cabinet and beyond to human machine interfaces and
visualization stations. The concept is based on AS-Interface and PROFIBUS DP, two
standardized and open fieldbus systems which can be connected to almost all the control
systems provided by well-known manufacturers.
1 Data is collected via AS-i if the devices are not all mounted together in the same place.
2 A point-to-point connection is established via IO-Link if a number of signals are grouped together.
3 Classic wiring via digital I/Os is used if the number of signals is manageable.
