Fieldbus communication for reliable networks at the control cabinet

Fieldbus communication is still the proven choice if it comes to reliable industrial networks within the control cabinet. It has been considered a reliable communication medium for decades and is therefore still frequently and gladly used – even though more modern technologies such as Ethernet are now available. What are the reasons for this?

►Fieldbus communication works so reliably, that users don't want to change anything.

►The fieldbus devices are now also colored grey and thus fit perfectly into the COMPLETE line design.

►The functions are still the same: As extenders, repeaters, gateways, converters, isolators or multiplexers, they reliably transmit fieldbus signals via Profibus or Modbus to other participants in the field.

►With the modular fieldbus hub, you can freely assemble the devices needed, and via the mounting rail bus connector, all devices are then supplied with power and the wiring effort is minimized.
Therefore, components for fieldbus communication from the COMPLETE line portfolio are well-tried and yet innovative.
