We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Fieldbus Interface",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Hydraulic valve allows easy customisation from
Moog Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "Even with advanced electronics on board, the Moog digital interface valve is designed to withstand the temperature and vibration requirements of demanding applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Small positioning drive offers low cost from
TR Controls: "The MMV200 comes complete with motor, absolute encoder, power electronics, closed loop position controller and a fieldbus interface".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Pepperl+Fuchs GB
concerning its FieldBarrier
- take a look at Company signs offshore automation contract
which says: "FieldConnex products were supplied mounted into customised stainless steel enclosures and pre-wired to a specification requested by the client".
Take a look also at the news release from Festo, Stepper motors cut costs,
as well as Fieldbus installation system suits new plant from Pepperl+Fuchs USA,
and Panels incorporate Ethernet and USB from Phoenix Contact.
