What is Fieldbus?
Fieldbus is an industrial network system for real-time distributed control. It's used to connect sensors, actuators, and controllers in manufacturing and process automation, replacing traditional point-to-point wiring with a digital communication network. This reduces wiring complexity, improves data communication, and enables advanced diagnostics and control strategies.
