Smart connection to intelligent Profibus devices
Advanced Industrial Automation
Profibus configuration software based on open FDT/DTM* technology that allows easy
configuring, commissioning, operation and maintenance of smart field devices.
CX-Profibus
One software suite
CX-Profibus is integrated within the Omron suite of CX-software.
This suite of software uses a common communications platform,
CX-Server, to allow a single point for programming, configuring
or monitoring a complete machine. This single connection point can
be either a local serial or network connection, but can also be
a wireless ‘Bluetooth’ connection or modem connection.
* Field Device Tool and Device Type Manager.
Omron recognises that many advanced machines require specialised
and often complex devices from diverse manufacturers to be used
to achieve the desired machine functionality. Previously solutions
required the use of specific 3rd party stand-alone software
to configure, operate and maintain these devices, even when they
are installed and working on the same Profibus network.
CX-Profibus allows all of this advanced functionality to be included
inside the Profibus configuration software using open FDT/DTM*
technology. This technology enables control system manufacturers
to provide customers with an optimised display of all functions
and data.
