Marine Fieldbus
Fieldbus Cables originally developed for Factory Automation are now available within the Armada® range manufactured under the assurance of Marine approval board DNV-GL.
To further the co-ordinated development of each of the fieldbus systems there are respective independent organisations that act as approvals authorities.
• PROFIBUS
• Profinet/Industrial Ethernet
• CANbus
• DeviceNetTM
• Foundation Fieldbus
These organisations and their members ensure that individual component suppliers work in an open inter-operable environment allowing free sourcing of individual components to build automated manufacturing systems. They also ensure that the quality and performance of these components including cable will comply with the requirements of the system overall. As advances in one area occur, they are uniformly implemented across the rest of the system components amongst the association members. This philosophy in itself ensures the reliability and future proofing of the industrial network and qualifies that each individual supplier’s component work smoothly within the network.
