10. Developments
Current developments in the Profibus network are directed towards the automation field, to enable the network to handle safety functions, and towards the interconnection of Profibus networks to a backbone network using TCP-IP protocols.
10.1 ProfiSafe
Distributed, remote fieldbus automation is a major feature of modern automation. More and more sensor-actuator level information is being handled by fieldbuses. Safety-related information such as emergency stop buttons, infrared safety barriers, etc., on the other hand, is handled by conventional systems parallel to the communication network, or by specialized communication buses. In 1998, a working group led by the PNO (Profibus Nutzerorganisation) proposed a specification profile called ProfiSafe, designed...
