Communication

PROFIBUS DP with PROFIsafe profile

Standard and safety-related data on a single bus

PROFIBUS is the No. 1 field bus: it is fast and practically suitable for universal use. Signal transmission takes milliseconds. PROFIBUS ensures consistent communication, from cell level right through to the field level. Extensive standardization allows maximum flexibility in every respect – and it is for this reason that almost 1,000 manufacturers rely on PROFIBUS.

In this way, PROFIBUS fulfills the demands with regard to faster response times in the production sector, as well as achieving energy saving operation in the process sector. Thanks to PROFIsafe profile, users can now use these advantages in Safety applications.



Migration from PROFIBUS to PROFINET can easily be implemented at any time via routers, such as the IE/PB link.
