Challenges and Opportunities in the AS-Interface Market
Challenge
Limited Data Transmission Speed and Network Complexity
First, AS-interface has a data communication rate of only 167 KBps, which constrains its utility relative to more powerful industrial communication protocols. AS-interface (AS-I) is an established protocol for low-speed, straightforward sensor-actuator applications but falls short of fulfilling the requirements of high-speed data-intensive processes, which accounts for its low popularity in sophisticated industrial automation environments.
In addition, the convergence of AS-interface with other industrial networks can result in network management and compatibility issues. By combining AS-interface with higher level industrial Ethernet systems, capable of doing so is by removing barriers in the wide range by ultimately connecting technology through ongoing protocol updates, expanding compatibility and hybrid network solutions.
