PROFIBUS

PROFIBUS is an open, digital communication system with a wide range of applications, particularly in the fields of factory and process automation. PROFIBUS is suitable for both fast, time-critical applications and complex communication tasks.

PROFIBUS communication is anchored in the international standards IEC 61158 and IEC 61784. The application and engineering aspects are specified in the generally available guidelines of the PROFIBUS User Organization. This fulfills user demand for manufacturer independence and openness and ensures communication between devices of various manufacturers.
