Efficient communica-

Fieldbus solutions for
any PLC network
Real time information is becoming increasingly im-
portant in industrial automation and control systems.
Immediate access to data increases transparency in
production facilities, while making it possible to opti-
mize system performance, carry out error analysis and
provide remote support around the clock from any-
where in the world.

Traditional wiring. No fieldbus.
In this type of network, communication
between the drive and PLC requires
one cable for each parameter that
needs to be controlled. The advantage
of such a system is that the individual
PLC
components themselves are rela-
tively cheap, and the system itself is not
among the most complex.

Fieldbus wiring
A typical fieldbus system only uses
twisted pair cables to connect the drive
to the PLC. Despite the higher cost of PLC
components, fieldbus systems offer Serial
several advantages over older, hard- communication
wired systems: fewer cables, faster com-
missioning and a reduced risk of faults.
