FBP FieldBusPlug
System Description - General Informationen
The FieldBusPlug system, with its new installation concept, opens a multitude of further possibilities for centralized
and decentralized applications. Simple integration into the process, the compact and space-saving designs of the
devices, the flexibility during planning and designing as well as the cost-effective assembly and commissioning are
further application-specific features. This offers considerably effects for the conception of a machine or plant:
Shorter throughput and realization times
Until now, wiring and cabling has been expensive and time-consuming in machines and plants. Standardized
plug-in fieldbus connections now provide fast installation and the highest level of flexibility.
Higher quality in machines and plants
Prefabricated devices, plug-in technology and less wiring expenditure reduce failures. Standards make
general planning and project planning more reliable, the assembly more effective and reduce the com mis-
sioning time.
Smaller control cabinets
The FBP product range includes particularly compact device versions. The products provide a high level
of functionality in minimal space. For example, the small dimensions of the only 45 mm wide reverse motor
starter MSR22-FBP makes additional space in the control cabinet.
Improved response time
Reacting flexibly to customer requirements means being able to carry out modifications even shortly before
completion. All devices can be replaced in a minimum of time. Due to the devices’ independence of the
fieldbus type, the determination of the field bus system can be made just before the control cabinet is to be
delivered.
Effortless connection to the process
The FBP system also shows its high adaptabilitywhen inserted into the automation level and thus into the
process. With the aid of standardized software functions, the FBP components and automation devices can
be integrated into the process via standard fieldbusses. Via the fieldbus, all device information are transmitted
to the automation level and thus can be visualized in the entire process. Which data are forwarded depends
on the performance data of the chosen fieldbus system.
Increased availability of machines and plants
The FBP components have extensive diagnostic functions. For example, the status of each FBP device
and fieldbus plug as well as of the bus is indicated by LEDs. Depending on the functionality of the device,
a preventive diagnostic function enables preventive maintenance (e.g. by counting the number of switching
cycles) and operating data of the motor can be displayed on an operating panel.
This allows possible malfunctions to be recognized before downtimes and production failures occur. An
occurring error can be visualized thanks to the communication ability of the components and can therefore
be remedied faster.
