Characteristics and Wiring of PROFIBUS-DP Communication

Characteristics and Wiring of PROFIBUS-DP Communication

1 Characteristics of PROFIBUS-DP PROFIBUS-DP uses physical layer, data link layer, and user interface for high-speed data transmission at the field level. The master station periodically reads input information from the slave stations and sends output information to the slaves. The bus cycle time must be shorter than the master program cycle time. In addition, … Read more
