Abstract
Foundation Fieldbus technology has been in use for over a decade, yet the uptake within the United Kingdom lags other regions of the world. In part this is due to where construction is occurring and another reason may be a lack of understanding of the technology. This article will help you reduce your anxiety and reluctance to start taking advantage of industrial networks technology such as Fieldbus, Ethernet and Wireless.
