Abstract :
The application layer services of a field bus are presented, starting from the end-user needs for distributed field database management. The authors summarize the main basic principles used in MAC and logical link layers and explain the services for the application layer and network management. They compare these services with the MMS ones, pointing out the main differences. The question of compatibility between field bus and MAP networks is considered
