We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Fieldbus Module",
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 Safety controller input reduces complexity from
Pilz Automation Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Status is indicated via LEDs on the front of the analogue input module and, if installed, via the PVIS 'intelligent diagnostics' system and a Pilz PMImicro diagnostic
display".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Industrial PC handles foundry environments from
MSC Tuttlingen: "An environment controller supervises and logs all measured values such as CPU temperature, fan speed as well as operation hours".
In March 2006, we covered the news from B and R Industrial Automation Corp
concerning its X20 bus controllers
- take a look at Bus controller uses modular strategy
which says: "Bus controllers continue the completely modular strategy and are made up of a base module, a supply module to supply the voltage for the entire system, and a Fieldbus interface".
Take a look also at the news release from Beka associates, Cluster lamps are intrinsically safe,
as well as Slimline fieldbus module handles more I/O from Beckhoff Automation,
and Systems gain more support for Hart devices from Invensys Foxboro.
