Profibus PA

PROFIBUS is an all-digital, serial, two-way communication
system that serves as a Local Area Network (LAN) for factory/
plant instrumentation and control devices.
PROFIBUS is a manufacturer-independent, open Fieldbus
standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing,
process and building automation. Manufacturer independence
and openness are ensured by the international standard EN
50170.
The AWT210 transmitter meets the requirements of PROFIBUS
PA Application profile 3.02.
Using the PROFIBUS protocol, devices from different
manufacturers exchange information on the same
communications bus without the need for special interface
equipment.
Information on PROFIBUS PA can be found in the PNO Guideline
and standards IEC 61158, IEC 61784, EN 50170/DIN 19245 and
EN 50020 (FISCO model).
