Field bus technology provides the full range of user benefits through consequent "openness" which is equivalent to the utilization of devices frommany different manufacturers in one system. To simplify processes like installation, version management, and device operation, PROFIBUS has developed the standards for the central and uniform operation of field devices.

Device integration is synonymous with making the information and functions of field devices centrally accessible for various tasks in the life cycle of a system during the engineering process and during plant operation. With its GSD, EDD and FDT/DTM concept, PROFIBUS offers future-oriented integration technology.
