"Industrial Network Basics" is a resource that serves as a practical guide in understanding traditional network technology and protocols before moving into the essentials of the network technologies used in manufacturing, automation, machine and process control systems.Whether you work as a technician or as a design engineer, "Industrial Network Basics" speaks to the world of possibilities available for machine and process control in a clear and understandable language. Special emphasis is given to the unique characteristics of popular fieldbus protocols and the integration of complementary high speed "backbone" applications such as FF-HSE, Ethernet/IP and ProfiNet.The foremost industrial Ethernet and fieldbus applications are covered with one objective, to give the reader a solid foundation in network communications with equipment such as "smart" I/O blocks, programmable automation controllers, SCADA systems and a wide array of other "intelligent" field devices that are used in modern DCS environments.Included in the many topics covered:* Physical wiring media such as UTP, STP, Coax and Fiber-optic cable and connectors* Understanding how physical wiring is rated* Typical network topologies* Understanding Bandwidth* Broadband & Baseband* Decimal, Binary and Hexadecimal conversion* Understanding the OSI layers* TCP/IP and other protocols used in both traditional networks and "industrial networks"* Fieldbus Technologies such as FF-H1, Profibus, DeviceNet and RS-485 networks* High speed "backbone" applications such as ProfiNet, FF-HSE, EtherNet/IP and Sercos III* Allen Bradley networks, connectivity, drivers and cable interfaces
