Dupline Fieldbus and Installationbus-4

Parallel wiring of traditional automation systems is often costly and complicated. Each sensor and actuator needs its own wiring, which makes the initial installation cost high. Expansion is also a problem, and even ongoing maintenance costs are high. Therefore, serial bus technology has become an increasingly important part of the concepts of electrical installations for buildings, industrial processes and public services. There are numerous advantages in using a bus system, which replaces a bundle of parallel wires with a single 2-wire cable. Easy and fast installation reduces labor cost significantly,...
