We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Fieldbus System",
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 Motor starters run up to 90kW from
Moeller Electric, which we summarised at the time by saying "The benefits of Moeller Electric's groundbreaking xStart system are not confined to simple unidirectional DOL starters".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Modules provide wireless links for controllers from
Pilz Automation Technology: "Pilz' InduraNET p modules enable robust wireless links to be implemented in industrial environments where wiring would be difficult or expensive".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Fieldbus Foundation
- take a look at Fieldbus interoperability specification launched
which says: "Hosts successfully completing registration testing will be authorised to bear the Foundation's official product registration symbol".
Take a look also at the news release from Moore Industries International, Brochure covers redundant fieldbus system,
as well as Power conditioner gains Registered Product status from Moore Industries International,
and Fieldbus system is passed fit for hazardous areas from Moore Industries International.
