  • Firmware development for PROFIBUS PA. This includes complete measurement application, proprietary interfaces, drivers for display -, memory-, A/D converters or HMIs
  • Development of Intrinsic Safe products complying with ATEX, FM, CSA standards
  • Schematic, PCB layout, Prototyping
  • Mesco defines and implements for customers complete profiles, inclusive custom specific parameters, based on a parameter list which is delivered by customer and the PROFIBUS standard profiles (e.g. PROFIBUS PA Profile 3.0).
  • Using proven Design Packages
  • Physical layer tests according IEC1158-2
  • Pre-certification tests in the fieldbus laboratory and subsequent actions until certificate is granted

Demo Systems:
Simulation of a multi vendor plant for water treatment:
Some devices are PROFIBUS PA to demonstrate intrisic safe enviromental conditions. The connection DP/PA is realised with DP/PA coupler. The Master class1 is the Siemens S7. Valvers are controlled with the pepperl+fuchs valve controller. With the Siemens Tool PDM( Master class 2- engineering tool) parameters of all devices can be configurated and diagnostic resolved. The plant is used to show cyclic- and acylic data transfers. Tooling as busmonitators is used to show cyclic- acyxlic data transfers. Tooling busmonitors is used to show current protocoles.

Training, Workshops, Seminars:

  • PROFIBUS Basics, 2-3 times during the year and as in house training
  • PROFIBUS DP-V2- from the specification to the product, 2-3 times during the year and as in house training
  • PROFIBUS customer specified semiar, 4-5 times during the year and in house training
  • PROFINET/ Ethernet basics, 4-5 times during the year and in house training
  • IO-Link Developer workshop, 2-3 times during the year and in house training
