Sensor / direct I/O
- transmission of numerous small data items (process variables) with bound delay (1ms..1s)
- transmission of non-real-time traffic for commissioning (e.g. download) and diagnostics
- harsh environment (temperature, vibrations, EM-disturbances, water, salt,…)
- robust and easy installation by skilled people
- high integrity (no undetected errors)
- high availability (redundant layout)
- in some applications intrinsic safety (oil & gas, mining, chemicals,..)
- clock synchronization (milliseconds down to a few microseconds)
- continuous supervision and diagnostics
- low attachment costs ( € 5.- .. €50 / node)
- moderate data rates (50 kbit/s … 5 Mbit/s) but large distance range (10m .. 4 km)
- reduce cabling

Pumps, gates, valves, motors, water level sensors, flow meters, temperature sensors,
gas meters (CH4), generators, … are spread over an area of several km2
Some parts of the plant have explosive atmosphere.
Wiring is traditionally 4..20 mA, resulting in long threads of cable (several 100 km).

Data are transmitted from the periphery or from fast controllers to higher level, but slower links to
the control level through field busses over distances of 1-2 km.
The control stations gather data at rates of about 200 kbit/s over distances of 30 m.
Planning of a field bus requires to estimate the data density per unit of length (or surface)
and the requirements in response time and throughput over each link.
