Fieldbus in software

If you’re an industrial equipment (sensors/actuators) manufacturer whose devices operate on one of the many available types of Fieldbus networks, these are the pain points you will likely experience if you decide to support a different industrial communications protocol.

Hardware module manufacturers are understandably delighted with themselves, having created such a stranglehold on the Fieldbus market, so they won’t want you to be aware of another way to make your device Fieldbus compatible – software!

Industrial communication is becoming a fundamental feature of any new product design as end-users demand access to more connected data to support the trend towards digitalisation.
