Your advantages

Smooth communication
at all levels in your plant structure.

Global standard
because conventional fieldbuses are used internationally.

Effective and irreplaceable

Fieldbuses are an important basis for efficient and flexible automation concepts. All installed drive components must react quickly and receive, process and send commands. Especially with the higher-level open-loop control system and the control level. This is the only way to ensure efficient startups and smooth production processes in your machines and systems.

In addition to conventional fieldbuses, our drive technology and drive electronics naturally also support Industrial ETHERNET-technologies.

You can therefore rely on the technology of one of the world's leading manufacturers of drive technology and utilise the communication capabilities of our components. Whether machine or system and installed centrally or decentrally. And, of course, worldwide.

Inverter technology Control technology

PROFIBUS®

is still widely used in the manufacturing industry, but is gradually being replaced by Ethernet-based fieldbuses.

  • Further information at PNO.

AS-Interface

is also widely used and offers lean communication for basic requirements. Significantly more efficient than the parallel cabling often used in the past.

DeviceNetTM

is still widely used in the USA and Asia, where it is usually found in existing systems. However, customers are now increasingly benefiting from the advantages of Ethernet-based fieldbus systems.

  • Further information is available from ODVA®.

CANopen

CAN technology, which was developed for communication in mobile applications, is also used in automation. The CANopen communication protocol was developed and standardised for this purpose.

INTERBUS

was widely used in the automotive industry, for example, and has since been replaced by other technologies. Depending on the application, it was not only transmitted via the communication medium copper, but also via fiber optic cable. In some cases, it is still used in existing plant components.

The INTERBUS-Club e.V. has been resolved.
