Profibus DP and INTERBUS

Profibus DP
The Profibus DP is a linear bus with a centralized access procedure of the Master/Slave type. Only Master stations, also known as active stations, have access rights to the bus. The Slave or passive stations can only respond to prompts.

The physical connection is a single shielded twisted pair, but fiber optic interfaces are available to create tree, star, or ring structures. Compared to the ISO model, only layers 1, 2 are implemented, since access from the user interface is made directly to the link layer via simple mapping of variables.

INTERBUS
The INTERBUS bus is a serial link type fieldbus for sensors and actuators which conforms to the requirements of an industrial environment. The topology of the INTERBUS bus is designed as a ring system with master/slave central access procedure. It is subdivided into three parts:

  • The remote bus (bus devices use RS 485 point-to-point connection).
  • The installation remote bus (remote bus tap link via a bus terminal module). Its technology is particularly suitable for IP 65 dust and damp proof systems.
  • The local bus with TTL technology is particularly suitable for buses within a control cabinet.

Each bus subscriber comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The INTERBUS system is like a data ring and has the structure of a shift register distributed on the bus. With its registers, each module constitutes a component of this shift register ring. The INTERBUS master circulates the data in series on this ring.
