LAPP offers a range of different bus components to suit the different technical requirements that a network in your application environment may have to fulfil and the bus systems which are used as a result. Below we will briefly look at the key Fieldbus protocol standards and consider simple S/A cabling as well as more complex fieldbuses. A field bus is a bus system that connects sensors and actuators to a control computer (PLC) for information exchange. Each manufacturer has designed its own communication mechanisms for its fieldbus so that all sensors and actuators can exchange information without interference. Most field buses are based on the so-called master-slave method.

Industrial Ethernet is the successor of the conventional Ethernet, known from the office and is primarily used for data communication in industrial production. There are good reasons for this: It offers a seamless network infrastructure and that in real time. The areas of application are diverse and reach from the field and control level to the MES/ERP level, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for order coordination and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for material planning. Industrial Ethernet technology includes a large address space for participants. With IPV6 addressing, networks with practically unlimited numbers of participants can be implemented. Large data volumes can be transmitted simultaneously and at high speeds of up to 40 Gbit/s via copper. This also applies to data communication over long distances: Distances of up to 80 km can be bridged using fiber optic cables. Networks can be easily expanded and segmented via switches and routers.

Industrial Ethernet is a young technology that has clear advantages over classic fieldbus systems: It offers a seamless network infrastructure from the sensor/actuator level via the control level to the office level, and thus seamlessly transparent communication. PROFINET® offers an address range for an almost unlimited number of devices and can send and receive significantly larger data volumes at high speed. Fieldbus technology is suitable to connect complex devices at the field and control level. It is characterized by lower installation costs and simple expansion of sensors and actuators. PROFIBUS® is therefore suitable for the transport of smaller data volumes and is limited to a small number of stations.

We started operations in India in 1996 by setting up state-of-the-art manufacturing unit at Jigani, Bangalore. In 2012, LAPP India set up its second manufacturing unit at Pilukedi, Bhopal to primarily produce single core cables catering to the Building segment. We further expanded our production capacity in 2014 by doubling the production area in Jigani and adding a new multi core line in Bhopal with a total investment of over 5 Million Euros. Today, we are the third largest cable manufacturers in India . Each year, we manufacture 130,000 km of control, instrumentation, power and data cables along with connectors, accessories and End to End Systems.
