Abstract
Fieldbus represents a standardization of distributed process control fundamentals so that control can migrate to field devices, such as, transmitters, control valves etc. A pressure transmitter, for example, may not need to communicate with the host to close the loop. Since the field devices can communicate ‘peer to peer’ over a fieldbus, its output can be sent directly to a ‘smart’ control valve which can apply proportional, integral and derivative (PID) control algorithm in order to position itself (Bond 1996).
