PROFIBUS is a fieldbus communication standard used to connect field devices and control systems across industrial plants.
PROFIBUS supports consistent data exchange in process automation environments and provides access to process values, device parameters, status information and diagnostics from connected instruments.
The technology is available in different variants for different application needs while still using the same communication protocol. To guarantee interoperability and to allow exchangeability of devices, a standardized PROFIBUS PA profile exists for various transmitters, actuators, and analysis devices. Additionally, the technology also supports modern device management by making key device information available through compatible operating and asset management tools.
PROFIBUS device information can be accessed with an FDT frame application or EDD operating tool. DTMs and EDDs are offered for all Endress+Hauser PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA devices. Device description files and certificates can be obtained from the download area of each product.
All Endress+Hauser PROFIBUS devices are tested and certified in independent laboratories that are accredited by the PROFIBUS User Organization (PNO). Additionally, all devices are additionally tested with all relevant control systems under typical operating conditions.
