PROFIBUS consists of three versions for
different applications:
Profibus FMS
The FMS services (Fieldbus Message Speci-
fication) open a wide application range, offer
considerable flexibility, and ensur e that com-
prehensive communication tasks with cyclical
or acyclical data traffic can be managed at
medium speed.
Since 1990, Profibus FMS is published as
standard in DIN 19 245, part 1 and part 2.
Along with the European Fieldbus standardi-
sation, Profibus FMS will be integrated in the
European Fieldbus standard EN 50 170.
Profibus DP
This speed-optimised Profibus version (DP =
decentralised periphery), is especially suit-
able for communication between automation
systems and the decentralised peripherals.
Profibus DP is based on DIN 19 245 part 1
and user-specific extensions deter mined in
the German standardisation DIN 19 245, part
3 (published 1993). Along with the European
Fieldbus standardisation, Profibus DP is
integrated in the European Fieldbus standard
EN 50 170.
Profibus PA
Profibus PA (PA = process automation) is the
Profibus version for applications in process
automation. Profibus PA uses the intrinsically
safe transmission technology determined in
IEC 61158-2, and enables the remote power
supply of the participants via the bus on a
two-wire cable.
Profibus PA enables the connection of sen-
sors and actuators to a common bus cable
(also in hazardous areas).
Instrument profiles determine the instrument
specific functions.
