Turck Networks


Turck has intelligent bus stations for a number of Networks and Protocols. AS-interface (commonly referred to as AS-I) is a low-level I/O system. CANopen is a higher-layer system based on the CAN (controller area network) specification that defines device and communication profiles. DeviceNet is a low-cost communications protocol that eliminates hard wiring and connects industrial devices to a network. Ethernet is the most popular protocol used to connect office computers and peripherals today. Foundation fieldbus is a communications protocol and physical method to interconnect smart devices such as temperature transmitters, pressure transmitters and valve actuators. HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) provides digital communication to microprocessor-based (smart) analog process control instruments. Profibus-DP is an industrial network protocol that connects field I/O devices in order to eliminate hard wiring. Profibus-PA (Process Automation) uses synchronous transfer mode technology, as defined in IEC 61158-2, to communicate between field devices and the RS 485 backbone of Profibus-DP. The Smart Distributed System (SDS), developed by Honeywell’s MIRCO SWITCH Division, is a bus system for intelligent sensors and actuators.
