A large percentage of all field devices with a fieldbus interface are based on protocol stacks and communication boards from Softing.

Industry-hardened Communication Modules

Real-Time Ethernet Communications ModuleField device manufacturers take pride in designing modular products with built-in flexibility to support the multitude of communication protocols used in today’s automation systems. One key element of a product design is the availability of a cost-effective communication module.

FOUNDATION Fieldbus KitSofting’s communication modules are complete board-level solutions that are excellent alternatives for use in low volume products or when a device manufacturer does not have the necessary R&D bandwidth to design a demanding fieldbus interface.


Protocol Stacks for Industrial Devices

Real-Time Ethernet SolutionsThe key objective of a device manufacturer is to integrate a new technology into existing systems as effectively and economically as possible. Softing is the ideal partner to support manufacturers in taking up this new challenge.

Stack IntegrationSofting has been a leader in defining specifications of various fieldbus organizations since the very beginning. Leading system and device manufacturers all over the world rely on Softing's proven expertise in the development of fieldbus interfaces.


Standardized High-Level Software Communication

FDT TechnologyThe FDT (Field Device Tool) concept is used to configure, parameterize, diagnose, and manage (field) devices with a single engineering tool regardless of the fieldbus or manufacturer. Through defined interfaces and user environments, devices are uniformly integrated and parameterized independently of their type, manufacturer, or underlying fieldbus protocol.

OPC TechnologyOPC is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data and information between software components. Softing, the leading provider of embedded OPC technology, has specifically redesigned its current OPC development tools to manage today’s legacy requirements, while at the same time ensuring the easy migration from OPC DA, AE, and HDA to OPC UA.
