Abstract This paper discusses fieldbus systems and introduces MIL‐STD‐1553B, IEC International Fieldbus, Arcnet, Bitbus and The Local Operating Network as examples of the world‐wide fieldbus activity. The main features of fieldbus instrumentation are introduced and communication protocols, safety and condition monitoring applications, and smart instrumentation are discussed.
