PROFIBUS DP Basic Introduction PROFIBUS DP is a classic fieldbus protocol introduced by Siemens many years ago, widely used in various industrial applications. With more domestic manufacturers participating in the production and manufacturing of PROFIBUS DP related devices, various designs for the physical connection of PROFIBUS DP have emerged. To facilitate everyone in designing the … Read more
Fault Diagnosis When the S7-1200 operates as a DP Master, the CPU does not stop and does not require downloading an organization block when a DP slave is lost. There are several methods for diagnosing faults in PROFIBUS DP: 1. Through the Indicator Lights on the Module The DIAG light on the front panel is … Read more
In industrial automation, communication between devices is a crucial aspect. Whether it is sensors, actuators, PLCs, or industrial computers, they all need to “talk” to each other in some way. Fieldbus technology was born to solve this problem. Today, I will introduce you to three common fieldbus technologies: MODBUS, CANopen, and PROFIBUS, discussing their basic … Read more

Click the blue text to follow us PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus) is a widely used communication protocol in the field of industrial automation. It was developed by Siemens in the early 1980s and standardized in the 1990s. PROFIBUS enhances the level of automation in industrial production by enabling efficient and reliable communication between devices. 1.Development … Read more
Click the blue text to follow us When working in industrial control, we often encounter various types of buses. Today, we will learn about one of them, Profibus, which is a widely used fieldbus communication protocol in the industrial automation sector, primarily for real-time data exchange between industrial devices (such as PLCs, sensors, and actuators). … Read more
Today, let’s discuss an important communication method in the field of industrial automation – Profibus FMS. Although this technology sounds very professional, it is not difficult to understand; it is like a “WeChat group” in a factory, allowing various devices to freely exchange information. What is Profibus FMS? Profibus FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification) is an … Read more
