When it comes to automation and process control FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 and PROFIBUS PA are two world-wide standards defined by IEC 61158-2 and the technology for the future. Fieldbus infrastructures allow for the powering of the field devices and communications, utilizing a single twisted-pair cable. Fieldbus integrates and centralizes control of production processes: control commands, closed loop control and monitoring. It builds a seamless and open platform, that saves on planning, installation and commissioning and enables asset management and remote parameterization aside from the basic function of communication and power supply. FieldConnex by Pepperl+Fuchs provides a stable fieldbus backbone. Durable products connect the control system to field devices for stable operations. The reliability of data transmission provides dependable processes and high plant availability. The High-Power Trunk concept by Pepperl+Fuchs has contributed to the break through of fieldbus and solves our objective, to make fieldbus infrastructures simple, reliable and safe. |
