We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Fieldbus System",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Wireless modules enhance controller versatility from
Pilz Automation Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Wireless modules allow robust wireless links to be set up in those industrial environments where hard wiring would be either difficult or too costly".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Integrate automation into MES and ERP from
Profibus Group: "Integration of automation systems into manufacturing execution systems and enterprise resource planning enables companies to maximise production capacity, writes Dr Peter Wenzel".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Moore Industries International
concerning its Trunksafe brochure
- take a look at Fault tolerant fieldbus brochure
which says: "Trunksafe brochure explains why it isn't necessary to duplicate entire segments to achieve redundancy".
Take a look also at the news release from Moore Industries International, Trunksafe approved for Fieldbus,
as well as Maintenance operations guidelines for Profinet from Profibus Group,
and Approval for fieldbus device coupler from Moore Industries International.
