What is the cost comparison between conventional and PROFIBUS cabling?
It is a common fact that PROFIBUS reduces cable costs a lot, but there is a more that comes with it: Reduction of cable trays. Energy savings. Less documentation. Better overview. Reduction of test time. Less spare parts. Easy to expand or change. Shorter downtimes because of quick repair. Easy to dismantle.This is only infrastructure and the initial savings. But the real money making starts with the maintenance and the operational costs. PROFIBUS is an excellent choice, but some training is required to get awareness about the advantages.
