Overview of PROFIBUS-DP
PROFIBUS DP is one of the fieldbus networks that provide easy interconnection between
control devices (PLC, PC, sensor, actuator, etc.).
PROFIBUS DP was developed as an open communication standard to connect various
field devices (sensor, actuator, robot controller, etc.). Because of the open
communication standard, PROFIBUS DP can easily construct multi-vendor system with
various devices developed around the world.
