It offers an introduction to fieldbus technology, an overview of the fieldbus Systems supported by AUMA and m particular the fieldbus-specific features of AUMA actuators. As early as the late 1980s, AUMA was actively involved in the development of the fieldbus standards. In 1993, the first AUMA actuator with fieldbus interface - Profibus FM5 - was available. AUMA was one of the pioneers of fieldbus development for electrlc actuators. AUMA does not only want to provide a fieldbus inter­face: the features and functions defined by the corre-sponding fieldbus protocol should be used to the full for the benefit of valve autornation, Further development in fieldbus protocols are thoroughly checked for their poten-tial usability in actuators and irnplemented accordingly. Due to AUMA's modular product range, any AUMA multi-turn, part-turn and linear actuator can be delivered with fieldbus interface. The process intégration of almost any valve via fieldbus is possible
