ProfiBUS Protocol
Acronym for Pro(cess)fi(field) bus
Communication protocol used in Power industry for data communication
Proprietary protocol
Developed by Siemens and BMBF (German Dept of Education and Research)
Extensively used in SCADA as well as DCS Systems
Architecture based on OSI Model (Open Systems architecture)
