PROFIBUS emerges as fieldbus technology of choice in Australia

PROFIBUS is today acknowledged as the world's most popular fieldbus communication protocol with an estimated 25 million installed nodes worldwide. At the core of its success is the PROFIBUS 'one-for-all' philosophy which ensures its suitability across all industries and applications. It's rapid acceptance and widespread popularity over the last five years has been outstanding.

PROFIBUS simplifies plant design, requires less wiring and hardware (lower installation costs); supports better diagnostics; delivers greater productivity and contributes to a higher quality product through the delivery of more accurate, on-time data to plant operations.
