Fieldbuses

Wapice provides fieldbus development for industrial needs. Fieldbuses interconnect devices with real-time, decentralized and standardized connection, for example in a manufacturing plant, warehouse or power plant. Typical fieldbus devices are sensors, different types of actuators and repeaters between busses. Numerous Fieldbus standards exist for different types of use cases. See below examples of technologies we use.

Fieldbuses

  • Modbus, BACnet, PROFIBUS
  • CAN based: J1939, CANopen, DeviceNet
  • TCP/IP: Modbus TCP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT

Wireless networks

  • SMS, BLE, WLAN, Zigbee, GPRS, GSM, 3G

Gateways we provide

  • PROFINET-to-CANOpen gateway
  • Modbus RTU and ModbusTCP gateway
  • Customized gateway solutions. For example, CAN-over-WLAN/Satellite/GPRS/SMS

Expertise we provide

  • Finding the right fieldbus solution for you
  • Connections to higher level systems such as traditional OPC(DCOM) and newer OPC UA
  • Programming. For example, fitting stacks for different real time operating systems
  • Designing customer specific protocols
