AUMA has some news in the field of fieldbus systems

Muelheim, 6 March 2008

The device integrations required for the use of the acyclic Profibus DP-V1 services of the AUMATIC are now available for download ( EDD or  DTM)

After installation the EDD or DTM of the AUMATIC with Profibus DP-V1 offer convenient access to parameters of the AUMATIC functions, the operating data, the electronic name plate and further helpful information on the current status of an AUMATIC actuator connected via Profibus, such as the current actuator position or the current actuator torque (optional for Non-Intrusive actuators).

Both technologies offer the user simple access to the fieldbus device data for commissioning, setting and configuration and for maintenance and diagnostic purposes.

Due to specifications of these technologies determined in international standards, it is assured that not only data on actuators but also on sensors, pumps or any other fieldbus devices are available in a uniform representation form at the same operation and monitoring stations.

This enables standardised user access from one central position in the control room to all device types of different manufacturers connected via fieldbus.

For further notes and information on the EDD or the DTM of the AUMATIC, refer to the following documents in the "Documents" section:
