Visualization and operation is possible using a single-user system or distributed multi-user systems with redundant servers
Logging and archiving of process and system data in a central database
Integration of different analyzers in a uniform communications network
System software
ASM is based on standard SIMATIC products
Microsoft SQL Server for archiving and data collection
Microsoft Windows / Windows Server as the operating system
Communication
The Ethernet protocol serves as the communication basis for ASM
Integration of analyzers using PROFINET, ModbusTCP or OPC data exchange
Analyzes without a communication interface can be integrated by connecting the signals to Siemens SIMATIC components
Data exchange with other systems possible using OPC
Networking
Siemens Scalance Ethernet switches for design of electrical and optical Industrial Ethernet in line and star structures; design in ring structures is possible to increase the fail-safety of the network
ASM can be integrated in an existing Ethernet network
