Analyst comment: "… PROFIBUS' unique value proposition is its ability to seamlessly integrate process instrumentation like pressure transmitters and flow meters, with devices for the discrete and motion control side of the application, like drives and sensors. PROFIBUS' common communication protocol creates a familiar environment, which can lower engineering, training and maintenance costs." - ARC Whitepaper, May 2004
