PROFIBUS for process automation

PROFIBUS PA meets the special requirements of process automation

These include intrinsic safety and bus-powered devices, for example.

PA communication is based on the same bus physics as Foundation fieldbus H1. It uses the acyclic DPV1 services and is embedded in a higher-level PROFIBUS DP system.
