Introduction
PROFIBUS DP is a vendor-independent, open industrial field bus which can be
used in a very wide range of applications. It is an established technology with a
large installed base.
Process automation equipment such as sensors, actuators, transmitters, drives
and programmable logic controllers, increasingly use digital microelectronics.
PROFIBUS DP ensures that devices from different vendors can communicate
efficiently in a network.
PROFIBUS is standardized as European Standard EN 50170.
The PROFIBUS DP expansion card, IFC PBDP, is delivered with a type
diskette containing PLC programs for communication between the terminal
and the PLC system. We refer to the current driver manual for further
information.
