Using the SBC S-Bus
The proprietary SBC S-Bus has been designed essentially for
communication with the engineering and debugging tools, and for
connecting the management level/process control systems.
It is neither suitable nor approved for the connection of eld devices from
diverse manufacturers. An open, vendor-neutral eldbus will be more
effective in achieving this end.
SBC S-Net, the networking concept from Saia-Burgess Controls AG, is based on
theRS-485,ProbusandEthernetopenstandards.Ethernetcoverslayers1and2
of the ISO / OSI layer model. Based on layer 2, a variety of different protocols and
applications can be run in parallel on the same network.
