Fieldbus components

What are Fieldbus components?

SCMA has been officially appointed as the sole authorized distributor of ifm in Thailand. 

Fieldbus components are devices used for signal connections that control (Controllers/Gateways) and communicate with other devices through various communication methods such as Profibus, Profinet, DeviceNet, Ethernet IP, EtherCAT or Modbus TCP/IP.

Components of Fieldbus Components

• Fieldbus Master (Master Controller) controls and manages communication in the Fieldbus network, typically in the form of a PLC or DCS that commands all devices within the network.
• Fieldbus Slave (Field Device) consists of field devices that receive instructions from the Fieldbus Master and send back measurement data or operational status.
• Power Supplies provide power to devices in the Fieldbus network, ensuring continuous operation.
• Gateways are used to connect the Fieldbus network with other networks such as Ethernet or central control systems.
• Fieldbus Cables (Signal Wires) are used to connect various devices in the network, capable of transmitting data and power through a single cable.
• Connectors and Terminations include connectors and termination points for electrical wiring and signals, as well as end-of-line terminations to prevent signal leakage.

Advantages of Fieldbus Components:

• Can transmit data and power through a single cable, reducing installation complexity.
• High-speed data transmission with the ability to send data from multiple devices in the same network.
• High accuracy and stability in controlling various devices during production processes.
