“…1 was designed so as to possess all the features related to the functions of a two-port transparent-translating local bridge [17,19,22]. Finally, in the modeling of bridge entities and algorithms, the conversion from WorldFIP frame format into AAL 3/4 and AAL 5 ATM cell formats and from the two ATM cell formats into WorldFIP frame format was conducted using three-step processes by converting as follows.…”

The implementation of the remote control, monitoring and maintenance of industrial automation systems based on real-time criteria is becoming more difficult as the distance increases. ATM is an important transport, switching, network management and backbone technology that offers different solutions to real-time communication with different classes of service. In this study, the effects on real-time communication of AAL 3/4 and AAL 5 classes of service of ATM were researched on a model in which the communication between WorldFIP industrial network nodes and ATM network nodes was provided over a bridge. First, a communication system consisting of a WorldFIP network, ATM network and bridge were modeled on a simulation tool and implemented. Afterwards, the system performance was analyzed under different loads within the classes of service AAL 3/4 and AAL 5. The analysis results have indicated that compared to AAL 5, AAL 3/4 better satisfies the real-time communication criteria. This result has shown that in both real-time access to a remote industrial automation systems and communication among remote industrial automation systems, ATM is preferable as a backbone and AAL 3/4 as the class of service.

“…Bridges are used to connect local area networks (LANs) with the same or different technologies and to generate extended LANs. Because fieldbuses have the first three layers of an OSI, they can be connected to another network by a bridge [1,[17][18][19].…”
