| Jochen Bihl, Vice Chairman and
Marketing director of the AS-International Association regards the openness of
AS-Interface to almost every popular bus system as one of the main reasons for
its worldwidely growing success. More and more users take with AS-i the first
important step towards simplified automation even if they have not decided on
the total concept for networking yet. That is why universal compatibility
ensures completely safe investments.
The
principle is "together" instead of "against". For us the field level system and
the device level system are no competitors but partners. AS-Interface proves
its strengths in any control: extreme simple and cost-effective networking of
sensors and actuators.
So many
user's uncertainty effected by the competiton among the different automation
systems does not weaken but strengthen AS-Interface. No matter what automation
system will win: AS-i is able to communicate with almost every automation
system. This means: the future speaks AS-i.
For
companies this precisely stands for: Whether they like to hold off with the
decision on the total concept of their plants They can begin removing their
cost-intensive cabling. They are safe with AS-i.
Ca. 250
members of the AS-i associations continously advance the AS-Interface by using
their inventive talents and know-how. So the current innovation step 3.0 opens
up a multitude of new application areas such as another applications with
frequency inverters for conveyor s. Several additional functions for analog
signals, diagnosis and for the field of process automation ensure even more
flexibility and more efficiency.
