13.2 PROFIBUS-DP
Fieldbus The controller can be incorporated into a fieldbus system according to the
PROFIBUS-DP standard, via the PROFIBUS-DP interface. This PROFIBUS
variant has been especially designed for the communication between automa-
tion systems and distributed peripheral devices at the field level, and is opti-
mised for speed.
Data
transmission
Data transmission is performed serially, according to the RS485 standard.
GSD generator With the aid of the project design tool included in the delivery (GSD generator;
GSD = Device Base Data), a standardised GSD file is created, which serves to
integrate the controller into the fieldbus system, through the selection of char-
acteristic controller features.
