Abstract

See full text

A universal communication system (UCS) consists of a number of communication modules that connect automation devices including controllers, sensors, actuators and input/output components to various communication networks. Each module transfers data between an automation device and the network using network-specific services and protocols. All modules present the same physical, electrical and logical interface to the automation device. Configuration data that customizes the presentation of the device and its data to the network is stored in non-volatile memory in the communication module. In this way, a single device design can support multiple network types by using appropriately configured modules.
