View a Presentation on Global Fieldbus Solution Market for Process Industry 2014-2018
A Fieldbus is a
two-way communication digital network operating in physical, data and
application layers of the OSI model. It is a control network used across
process automation, enabling the field devices to be connected with the
controller. Process industries across the globe are increasing using fieldbus
incorporated measurement instruments and sensors in their production process.
This reduces the need for point-to-point connection of the devices, and cables
and wiring cost, leading to an overall reduction in operational and capital
expenditure to the end-users.
