The Market share is approximate 50% in Europe and 20% world-wide. That
correspond to 3,000,000 installed PROFIBUS nodes with a market value of
approximate 3.5 billion US$.
- The reason for this is, that most of big players in the PLC market,
like Siemens S7, supports PROFIBUS as an already integrated
standard fieldbus input on the PLC.
- The settings are carried out with a software file with the device description
data (GSD = GeräteStammDatei).
