Fieldbus Primer
A video course and referencework on fieldbussystems
What you will learn
After the course you will be able to understand the terms fieldbus and fieldbus protocol
You will gain an overview of the most important fieldbus protocols and are therefore able to understand and classify the use of various fieldbus protocols
Why take this course?
In this course, on the subject of fieldbus systems, we first of all deal with the history of fieldbus systems.
Further on in this course you will also learn the basics of fieldbus and fieldbus protocols.
After you have understood the basics, we will look at the first protocols and get to know them. Thus we start in the first section with the protocols for building automation, like BacNet, LON and KNX. At the end of this lesson we will compare these protocols and learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each protocol.
In the following section we will also look at the fieldbus protocols for subsystems. These include SMI and Dali.
In the last section we will look at the protocols for cross communication (IT/Industry). We will look at the protocols Modbus and SNMP. Also with these protocols we will learn about the advantages and disadvantages and compare them with each other
