A field bus is a two-way link between a programmable controller or
operations monitor and an industrial device like a sensor, an
electric motor, or a switch. It is a critical part of any automated
industrial process - whether for factory automation (discrete
processes like an assembly line) or process automation (continuous
flow of materials being mixed, treated, or processed). PROFIBUS is
a widely established program that allows for communication among
and between controllers, fieldbuses, and actuator devices. This
very concise introduction for industrial engineers, controls
engineers, and manufacturing technicians covers the basics of field
bus architecture and communication and the fundamentals of the
PROFIBUS language protocol.
