I
Hi,
I'm new in the field of Industrial Automation and I have a big issue:
I work for an Italian Company building Power Plant, and in one of our PP (using steam) we've started to use the Profibus DP as a fieldbus, connected to a Siemens DCS.
So, I have to check if Profinet can help us to optimize performances of the regulators in case of either normal operation (Load Control, Pressure Control, Temperature Control) or Primary Frequency Regulation. Obviously, they are relatively slow controls, around fractions of second, so we don't need Real-Time responses.
As in Europe, also in Italy Profibus is very common in factories, but I need to compare it with Fieldbus Foundation HSE/H1, to see if this protocol could be more practical to use.
Moreover, I'd like to compare also the Troubleshooting and the Costs in both protocols.
I think to have clearly explained myself (despite my english...), I hope you can help me...
Best Regards, Fabrizio
