What Is Fieldbus?: Measurement and Control - Fieldbus For Use in Industrial Control Systems

Fieldbus is a communication system that allows devices like sensors and valves to connect directly to a controller like a PLC without individual wiring. This reduces costs compared to connecting each device separately. The IEC 61158 standard defines the architecture and protocols for fieldbus, including physical, data link and application layers. It allows for eight different fieldbus technologies that are suited to different applications like automotive or process plants.

1. What is fieldbus?

Fieldbus is simply a means of communicating with input devices (sensors, switches,


etc.) and output devices (valves, drives, indication lamps etc.) without the need to
connect each individual device back to the controller (PLC, Industrial PC etc.). Therefore,
overall, Fieldbus can reduce costs.

2. IEC 61158
There were many competing technologies for fieldbus and the original hope for one single unified
communications mechanism has not been realized. This should not be unexpected since fieldbus
technology needs to be implemented differently in different applications; automotive fieldbus is
functionally different from process plant control. The final edition of IEC standard IEC 61158 allows 8
technologies. These are the some hierarchic layer of the automation protocols.
IEC 61158 consists of the following parts, under the general title Digital data communications for
measurement and control Fieldbus for use in industrial control systems:

Part 1: Overview and guidance for the IEC 61158 series

Part 2: Physical Layer specification and service definition

Part 3: Data Link Service definition

Part 4: Data Link Protocol specification

Part 5: Application Layer Service definition

Part 6: Application Layer Protocol specification
