Does AS-Interface complete with Interbus, Profibus and DeviceNet?
AS-Interface can’t be compared to the Sensor bus networks DeviceNet, Profibus, and Interbus-s. All these bus systems are more costly, support more generic communications, provide advanced diagnostic functionality and are highly configurable. These systems support very sophisticated, intelligent devices with tremendous data capabilities. Devices like drive systems, HMIs, barcode readers and the like couldn’t find a home on AS-Interfacenterface.
