Moxa Fieldbus Gateways
Fieldbus is used for communication between connected devices. It enables real-time communication to feed machine data platforms and deliver insights to the user or machine for consumption.
Fieldbus Protocol Explained
Fieldbus protocols support the communication from input devices and output devices without the need to connect each individual device back to a controller or PLC. Fieldbus defines the wider group of protocols that are used in the industrial environments and has been standardized as IEC61158.
Fieldbus works on a network that permits various topologies such as the ring, branch, star, and daisy chain and so therefore can be utilised in a wide range scenarios and applications..
Because the manufacturers of automation equipment developed proprietary Fieldbuses with differing features and functions to best deal with their market niche and to compete on a technical level.
We inevitably ended up with many Fieldbus variants, with some buses being better at specific functions than others.
