Overview of PROFIBUS DP
The Advantages of DP
PROFIBUS DP is intended for fast data exchange in the fieldbus area.
Distributed peripheral devices collect the input signals locally and transfer them via
the fieldbus to the central controller in the PG/PC. In the opposite direction, the
central controller sends the output data to the distributed peripheral devices.
The use of PROFIBUS DP means a considerable reduction in cabling compared to
previous direct wiring of components.
