5.4 PROFIBUS-DP The PROFIBUS is a non-manufacturer-specific, standardized field bus
of which the openness is guaranteed by the international standard
EN 50170.
PROFIBUS comprises the three variants PROFIBUS-DP, PROFIBUS-
FMS and PROFIBUS-PA. The PROFIBUS-DP version is aligned to the
fast data transfer rates and short response times required in drive engi-
neering.
