What is
PROFIBUS? / Why PROFIBUS?
|
|
Created in 1989 by a
consortium of companies and
institutions,
PROFIBUS has become the world’s
most popular fieldbus in discrete
process control. It is mature,
proven ideal for supporting modern
automation systems. With over 14
million installed devices, it is a
significant driving force for the
world’s production plants. By
continuously enhancing the
technology,
PROFIBUS International (PI) has
ensured that
PROFIBUS remains fieldbus
solution. The ongoing commitment of
the world’s automation major
suppliers ensures that investments
today are fully protected for the
lifetime of any plant.
PROFIBUS
is unique in offering a fully
integrated solution for discrete and
process applications, a major
benefit in the process industries
where upstream, mainstream and
downstream processes have to work
together. Industries using
PROFIBUS range from critical
petrochemical operations and high
volume robotic manufacturing plants,
right across the spectrum to food
and drink, treatment plants.

into the
world of
automation.
It supports
advanced
plant
automation
strategies
and helps
them merge
easily with
the
enterprise
and beyond.
For the
production
line it
provides
comparable
functionality
to
PROFIBUS,
using
techniques
that are
familiar to
both
Engineering
