Benefits of using a digital fieldbus (PROFIBUS)
Plant Asset Management is enabled
Information from process and devices are available in the controller.
Construction and installation is optimized
100s of separate wires are reduced down to just one cable.
Commissioning is fastened
The end user can scale the devices from one central location.
Accuracy is increased
No need for digital/analogue conversion (in the device) and
analogue/digital conversion (in the controller). >> higher accuracy
Process variables can be trusted
