It strips away all the jargon and confusing terminology and explains.

* The differences between Foundation Fieldbus H1 and Profibus PA.

* The elements of fieldbus: H1/PA cards, power supplies, segments, trunks, device couplers and segment terminators.

* How fieldbus device couplers work.

* How fieldbus instruments connect to a segment.

* How short-circuit protection works, and why it sometimes doesn't let you install 32 devices on a segment as the specifications claim.

* The issues involved in using fieldbus devices in hazardous areas.

* Methods for setting up a redundant fieldbus segment for critical instrumentation.

* Advantages of fieldbus networks.

This non-commercial white paper is available for free, via a direct download from the website or as a printed copy.
