Abstract :
Fieldbus is a real-time network intended to be employed in the lowest hierarchy level of factory automation. In this paper, the authors give an overview of a typical Fieldbus application. They then describe the flux instrumentation protocol and a modified version of this protocol. They analyse these protocols with respect to two aspects, namely protocol efficiency and protocol robustness.
