Objectives of PROFIBUS DP
Distributed automation systems are increasingly used in production and process automation.
This means a complex control task is divided up into smaller, more transparent subtasks with
distributed control systems. This creates a high demand for communication between the
distributed systems.
Distributed systems offer the following benefits:
●
Independent and simultaneous commissioning of individual devices is possible
●
Small, manageable programs
●
Parallel processing due to distributed automation systems
●
Reduced response times
●
Higher-level structures can take on additional diagnostics and logging functions.
●
Increased plant availability because the rest of the overall system can continue to work
when a subordinate station fails.
2.1.2
PROFIBUS terminology
Definition: Devices in the PROFIBUS environment
In the PROFIBUS environment, "device" is the generic term for:
●
Automation systems (for example, PLC, PC)
●
Distributed I/O systems
●
Field devices (for example, hydraulic devices, pneumatic devices)
●
Active network components (e.g., diagnostic repeater, optical link module)
●
Gateways to AS interface or other fieldbus systems
