Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communication protocol developed primarily for applications in the automotive industry. It is also capable of offering good performance in other time-critical industrial applications.
The CAN protocol is optimized for short messages and uses … Read more
Foundation fieldbus (FF) is an all-digital, serial, two-way communication system for industrial applications.
Foundation fieldbus specifications include two different configurations: H1 and HSE.
H1 FF communication system is mainly applied to distributed continuous process control; … Read more
Topology is an important property of fieldbus. It is employed in the selection and definition of the best and suitable physical layout of the fieldbus network. The physical layer of the fieldbus has to meet somewhat demanding requirements like immunity … Read more
HART is an acronym for (High Addressable Remote Transducer). HART is implemented in two ways in industrial instrumentation networks:
Here serial communication data is superimposed onto a standard 4-20 … Read more
Presently, this standard is known as TIA-232C. These are point-to-point networks with a purpose of connecting only two devices. The signaling is single-ended (unbalanced) which implies that the respective voltage pulses are referenced to a common ground conductor and … Read more
