MotionBUS Profibus

PROFIBUS standard was released in 1990 and then recognized by German DIN, European EN 50170 and international IEC 61158 and IEC 61784 standards. PROFIBUS is a linear system with two connections based on the RS 485 serial communication. The advantage of PROFIBUS is the possibility to have two different level variations (DP or Decentralized Periphery for high-speed performances and FMS or Fieldbus Message Specifications for ICT performances) in the same transmission technology. A shielded copper twisted pair is used as the means of transmission. With a transmission rate of up to 12 Mbps it can cover a distance of 100 metres.
