Technology: Safety-related Fieldbus with SIL 3

Requested in November 2004—presented in April 2006: the integration of safety-related signals into fieldbus communication becomes reality. Thus fully digital plant control all the way from DCS to field device will be possible, without any additional cabling in parallel. Process control and plant safety system: both will use the common bus network.
