Everything about a PROFIBUS network and how to use it with IIoT services

w What is PROFIBUS?
PROFIBUS is a digital network that provides communication
between field sensors and their control system or controllers.
We have PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA, plus PROFINET,
based on Ethernet communication and implemented in many
areas and applications.
y What is PROFIBUS DP?
DP stands for Decentralized Periphery. The name refers to the I/O connections,
which use decentralized high-speed serial communication to connect to a central
controller.
It’s based on an RS485 physical layer and the European EN-50170 standard,
Junction Box with a multi-master token network that can use wireless or fiber-optic cables.
x What is PROFIBUS PA?
The PROFIBUS PA protocol evolved out of HART to establish A few quick facts:
communication between measuring instruments and the PROFIBUS PA • Master Class 01 – cyclic information to control
control system in field applications. It uses twisted shielded Coupler DP/PA • the process
pairs for both power and communication and has a physical PROFIBUS DP • Master Class 02 – acyclic information for
network structure that complies with IEC-61158-2. • diagnostics, alarms, and configuration
PROFIBUS PA • Network speed: 9.6 kbps up to 12 Mbps
A few more quick facts: • Distance: 100 to 1000 meters
• Network speed: 31.25 kbps
• Devices connect to controllers through couplers or links on the Netilion Health
• faster PROFIBUS DP network
• PROFIBUS PA networks can be designed to be intrinsically safe
