General Purpose Field Communication System

inactive
Organization: DS
Publication Date: 1 December 1997
Status: inactive
Page Count: 2,008
ICS Code (Open systems interconnection in general): 35.100.01
ICS Code (IT applications in industry): 35.240.50
scope:

The "general purpose field communication system" is principally a communication means between equipment close to the manufacturing process like sensors and actuators on machines, etc. and the control level equipment. Further precise definition is difficult as it limits the use of this communication technology. The scope of information transfer goes far beyond of replacing analog 4 to 20 mA signals. Decentralized intelligent systems need communication from and to devices in a comfortable user or application oriented way.
