The distributed control system (DCS) market in China is expected to grow at a compound average growth Rate (CAGR) of nearly 14% between 2005 and 2010 - in heavy process industries.
According to ARC, running separate busses for safety and non-safety data is simply no longer commensurate with modern automation philosophy.
The document describes in detail also safety in standard drives and motion control and the operational benefits of drive-integrated safety on the basis of modern communication systems.
An important part of the white paper is dedicated to the realisation of PROFIsafe on PROFIBUS and PROFINET by PROFIBUS International (PI).
A chapter 'Networked Safety in Practice' describes two case studies at endusers in USA and Sweden, who have realized benefits from using PROFINET and PROFIsafe.
One of the case studies includes also a wireless-application.
