Talk:Fieldbus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Rewrite
The Article used to describe specifically the FOUNDATION fieldbus. I did the following:
- Incorporated the information from fieldbus control systems
- Requested fieldbus control systems for deletion
- Wrote an introduction
- Added some standards.
- Moved the Information that was peviously here to FOUNDATION fieldbus

The complete article is outdated. Is it possible to have an expert refresh it?
I agree fully. The article is to say the least outdated. The german wiki artikle de:Feldbus is significantly better and could be a good base if translated. I'm even willing to translate it, but replacing the whole article is something I'm hesitant as I'm relatively new at the en-wiki --Kramer-Wolf 09:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Field bus
Isn't the generic term really "field bus" rather than "fieldbus"? Also, this page seems to be describing just one instance of the generic concept of a field bus. The Controller Area Network bus would be another example of a field bus. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert.
Correct -> it should read field bus Kramer-Wolf 09:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Made a significant number of edits relating to current position (2007)
[edit] Different?
What is the unique difference between field bus technology and regular buses and computer networks? --Abdull 14:13, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
With field busses, the environmental part is far more a focus, while the physics of communication is often "old fashioned". There are often precise specs about wiring, connectors, network structures, diagnostics, automated tests for the devices, protection levels. Remember: The field busses were the first multi vendor communication systems, even though there (still) is typically one big player with each of the systems. That's one of the reasons why there are so many of them. Kramer-Wolf 08:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
