In addition to the established fieldbus systems, SIRIUS Innovations also safeguard 
communication right up to the "final mile" on the actuator side. In a similar way to with 
PROFIBUS DP and AS-Interface, a user organization made up of a range of renowned 
manufacturers ensures that control data, status data, and diagnostics data can now be 
transferred in accordance with a uniform communication standard via IO-Link intelligent 
wiring, as well as via classic parallel wiring.

Figure 1-39  Connection to the higher-level control 
SIRIUS switching devices can be connected to higher-level control systems using 
conventional wiring, but also by means of intelligent wiring and a fieldbus: 
●  IO-Link 
●  AS-Interface 
SIRIUS switching devices are linked into the Siemens Totally Integrated Automation concept 
via function modules. Totally Integrated Automation offers the user uniformity in terms of 
configuration, programming, data storage, and communication.
