Field bus is known as family of industrial network protocols for real-time distributed control. An automated industrial system usually requires Fieldbus solutions in order to overcome connectivity issues between the various, such as controllers, sensors and actuators. Fieldbus works on a network structure which typically allows daisy-chain, star, ring, branch, and tree type network topologies, providing a range of major advantages to all kinds of automation applications.

In order to provide a variety of Fieldbus solutions, ICP DAS has devoted signification resources for many years into developing Fieldbus products based on different protocols. In additional to Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII, these products comprehensively cover the majority of industrial communication protocols,such as CAN Bus, CANopen, DeviceNet, J1939, PROFIBUS, HART, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, BACnet/IP, and PROFINET, for process and factory automation, as illustrated.

ICP DAS also offers a diverse range of PACs incorporating different sizes and features. These powerful PACs provide a method of assembling private protocols based on RS-232, RS-485, industrial Ethernet, CAN bus, Wi-Fi, 2.5G and 3G interfaces. By using a PAC, it is possible to integrate various communication protocols into a single controller, meaning that constructing a multi-function automation system becomes quicker and easier.

ICP DAS provide a wide range of PC-based, PAC, converter, gateway, and remote I/O solutions for a rich selection of communication protocols, meaning that the appropriate solution is always available regardless of the application field. Whatever your requirements, ICP DAS offers the complete solution.

ICP DAS has developed a large numbers of user-friendly and convenient libraries and development tools based on VB, VC, BCB, Delphi, VB.Net, and C#.Net that enable users to develop custom applications for these Fieldbus products. For SCADA software, we also provide InduSoft, LabVIEW, and DASYLab drivers. For real time applications, the RTX driver is also useful. There features provide the necessary resources to allow you to efficiently establish or debug your system.

In order to protect against harsh environments, many protection mechanisms are built in to the hardware, such as galvanic isolation, photocoupler isolation, power reverse polarity protection, over-voltage brown-out protection, EMI, ESD, EFT, surge protection, and so forth. All ICP DAS products are certified as CE and FCC compliant.

ICP DAS has been focused on Fieldbus products for several years and has accumulated a rich development experience on Fieldbus applications, and have recently announced a variety of new Fieldbus projects for different applications. Whether it is software or hardware, ICP DAS always provides the best product for our customers.

ICP DAS products can be operated in a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels, providing you with high reliability.

versions for many of our existing range of products together with all new models. However, in certain OEM cases that are outside the scope of the RoHS Directive, we will also maintain normal supplies of lead-based products for customers who place their electrical and electronic equipment into non-EU markets. ICP DAS lead-free RoHS-compliant products are identified by using a unique part number and by adding the suffix CR to the product name.
