PROFIBUS
Process field bus, European process and fieldbus standard as
defined in the PROFIBUS standard (EN 50 170, Volume 2,
PROFIBUS).
It lays down the functional, electrical and mechanical
properties for a bit-serial fieldbus system.
PROFIBUS is a bus system that networks PROFIBUS-
compatible automation systems and field devices at the cell
and field level. PROFIBUS is available with the DP
(decentralized peripherals), FMS (fieldbus message
specification), PA (process automation) or TF (technological
functions) protocol.
PROFIBUS DP
PROFIBUS bus system with the DP protocol (decentralized
peripherals).
The main task of PROFIBUS DP is fast cyclic data exchange
between the central DP devices and the I/O devices.
PROFIBUS DP interface
SIMOCODE pro has an integrated PROFIBUS DP interface
(SUB-D socket or terminal connection on the basic units).
PROFIBUS DPV1
Expansion of the DP protocol.
This enables acyclic data exchange of parameter, diagnostic,
receive and test data.
PROFIBUS User Organization (PUO) installation guidelines
For PROFIBUS networks, the PROFIBUS DP/FMS installation
guidelines from the PROFIBUS User Organization must be
adhered to. They contain important information about the
cable routing and commissioning of PROFIBUS networks.
PROFINET
Automation standard for Industrial Ethernet.
PROFIsafe
The PROFIBUS safety profile (PROFIsafe) specifies the
communication between failsafe I/O devices and failsafe
controllers. It is based on the standard for safety-oriented
applications and the experiences of PLC users and
manufacturers in the PROFIBUS User Organization (PUO).
The PROFIsafe profile is certified by the TÜV and the IFA
(Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German
Social Accident Insurance). The newest version of the
PROFIsafe specification is the Profile for Safe Technology
V1.11 from July 2001.
