Profibus – Smart Technology for Process Industry

By admin September 10, 2012 10:59 am IST

The modern industries have evolved from handheld press machines to sophisticated systems and machines which can be controlled, monitored form any part of the world via Ethernet medium. Today the top management level is completely aware about the activities of the Production Unit.  This is possible only because of connectivity between the shop floor and top floor. This connectivity is achieved through dedicated Industrial networks such as Profibus, Profinet, Ethernet and many more.
Today the most widely used protocol in industries is Profibus, a standard for digital field bus communication in automation technology. Profibus can be defined as, “Fastest non-Ethernet digital data communication bus for measurement and control in industrial control systems, in process, factory and building automation, capable of working from AS (actuator sensor) in the field, cell upto enterprise level.”
The cement and steel industries are major users of Profibus technology due to its centralised control and works for instrumentation and the electrical systems automation systems. Profibus is used from the initial level of mining till the packing of finished product.
Profibus Application in Cement Industry• Mining & Excavator System – for extraction of raw materials• Conveyer System- for transportation of Raw material till Plant • Crusher & Bunker System- for separation & filtrations of raw material• Junctions from where the flintstone is distributed to  various areas of plant• Plant – from processing of cement till packing in bags.
