Types and Selection Criteria
Main decision criteria
With plant availability and maintenance strategies as the major driving factors each work step - commissioning, monitoring and troubleshooting - requires consideration. It's important to choose the right ADM and underlying technology - from stationary to mobile versions. Additional criteria are:
- The amount of information that should be available in the control room
- Retrofit of existing plants
- The engineering required for setting up physical layer diagnostics
In addition, FieldConnex fieldbus technology offers solutions for mobile fieldbus practitioners. The innovators at Pepperl+Fuchs, first to introduce physical layer diagnostics, will continue to bring to you solutions that make working with fieldbus easier.
