Dependable network performance
Our PROFIBUS cable solutions carry communication between PLCs, distributed I/O systems, field devices, process instrumentation, motor control centres and SCADA systems. Built for industrial environments, they hold data integrity and network performance over the long term.
Building a new automation network, expanding an existing control system or maintaining OT infrastructure — we can supply the right PROFIBUS products for the application.
Protocol Basics
What is PROFIBUS?
PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus) is one of the world's most widely deployed industrial communication protocols, carrying fast, reliable communication between control systems, automation equipment and field devices.
In industrial automation it links PLCs, HMIs, SCADA platforms, motor control centres, drives, remote I/O systems, instrumentation and intelligent field devices.
DP or PA — which do you need?
Decentralised Peripherals. High-speed communication between controllers and automation devices — PLCs, distributed I/O, drives and factory automation equipment.
Process Automation. Built for instrumentation and field devices in process environments, where devices need reliable communication and power delivered over the same network.
