The role of fieldbus in microgrid
The fieldbus [2] links the PLCs of the direct control level to the components in the plant at the field level, such as sensors, actuators, electric motors, console lights, switches, valves and contactors. It also replaces the direct connections via current loops or digital. . A fieldbus is a member of a family of industrial digital communication networks [1] used for real-time distributed control. Fieldbus profiles are standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as IEC 61784/61158. A complex automated industrial system is typically structured in. . Advances in fieldbus technology are characterized by similar trends. In this article, we'll stick to the two basic fieldbuses used in process control: PROFIBUS PA and UNDATION fieldbusTM H1.
