3.1 Software history
3.2 PROFIBUS PA System Architecture
The diagram above shows a typical instrumentation with PROFIBUS PA devices with MBP inter-
face in hazardous and non-hazardous locations, including connections of conventional devices
(e.g. with 4-20mA signals) ina a PROFIBUS network.
The PROFIBUS PA is normally connected to a segment coupler which, among other things,
carries out the conversion to the PROFIBUS DP.
Further information on the planning and operation of PROFIBUS PA networks can be found in
the KROHNE brochure “Fundamentals PROFIBUS” which can be downloaded from the
KROHNE homepage http://www.krohne.com or contact “KROHNE Marketing”.
