Fieldbus Technology

We offer the full range of solutions for process automation tasks implemented with Foundation™ fieldbus and PROFIBUS-PA: The portfolio includes power supplies, power conditioners, multibarriers as well as junction boxes in IP20 and IP67. The range also includes passive connectivity products such as fieldbus cables, field distributors and terminating resistors. The components are suitable for use in harsh environments and can directly be mounted on the machine or in the process.

For factory automation we offer compact fieldbus I/O-modules for PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet™, CANopen, INTERBUS, AS-interface®, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP™ and PROFINET. The IP67-modules for use in harsh environments have glass-fiber reinforced plastic housings and metal-connectors, are fully potted, vibration and shock-proof. The IP20-modules for DIN rails can not only be installed in control cabinets, they can also be used to integrate small, decentralized control boxes with a few I/O-signals to a fieldbus network.

Our modular fieldbus and remote I/O-systems offer a comprehensive range of solutions for factory and process automation with interfaces for the fieldbus protocols PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet™, CANopen, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP™ and PROFINET. excom® is a remote-I/O-system in IP20 for Ex and non-Ex areas. You can plan and implement tailor-made solutions for the I/O IP20 area with the universal BL20 bus terminal system. The modular IP67 fieldbus systems BL67 and piconet® can be mounted directly in the field.

The BL ident® connectivity portfolio offers field-wireable extension cables in various versions (Standard, Economy and Food & Beverage) for the secure communication between interface and read/write head as well as field-wireable bus and supply lines. The accessories include mounting adapters for read/write heads and tags, as well as protective frames for read/write heads. In addition, the portfolio also includes handheld readers for mobile reading and writing of data carriers.
