PROFIBUS

• Bus system
  
  • For process and field communication in cell networks with a small number of stations and with field devices
  • For data communication acc. to IEC 61 158/EN 50 170
• Offers openness for interfacing to standardized non-Siemens components
  
  • PROFIBUS – the fieldbus standard in production and process engineering comprises:
  • Specification of the standards for the physical characteristics of the bus and the access procedure
  • Specification of the user protocol and the user interface
• Process or field communication
  
  • PROFIBUS DP for fast, cyclic data exchange with field devices
  • PROFIBUS PA for applications in process automation and in the intrinsically safe area
• Data communication
  
  • PROFIBUS FMS for data communication between programmable controllers of different manufacturers

PROFIBUS with Totally Integrated Automation

• PROFIBUS is a powerful, open, and rugged bus system that ensures seamless communication.
• The system is fully standardized, thus enabling trouble-free connection of standardized components from a variety of manufacturers.
• Configuration, commissioning, and troubleshooting can be carried out from any location. This results in user-defined communication relationships that are very versatile, simple to implement, and easy to change.
• Fast assembly and commissioning on site with the help of the FastConnect wiring system.
• Continuous monitoring of network components through a simple and effective signaling concept.
• High security of investment since existing networks can be extended without any adverse effects.
• High availability through ring redundancy with OLM.
