Fieldbuses
More flexibility, a more efficient network
PROFIsafe® is a vendor-neutral functional safety fieldbus which enables safe communication between safe in- and output modules and the safety-CPU SLC284. PROFIsafe® allows the user to integrate a large spectrum of 3rd party PROFIsafe® sensors and actuators into their safety solution along with safety I/O modules provided by Bachmann.
The Ethernet-based standard PROFINET® IO RT is a manufacturer independent field bus that connects controllers and actuators, sensors and drives, or also controllers with each other.
The PROFIBUS® configurator enables creation of networks with an M200 controller as master station and multiple slave stations
EtherCAT® bus system is ideally suited for controlling servo-electric drives by an M200 controller. The Bachmann SolutionCenter contains convenient tools for the configuration, commissioning and diagnosis of the network.
Modbus is a very simple, but proven fieldbus system. In principle it only knows the two data types, bool and integer, and a set of queries that are always posed by the modbus master and answered by the modbus slaves.
