Abstract :
Digital communications started replacing analogue signal transmissions when smart transmitters were implemented through the HART protocol. Since then the drive for Open Systems Interconnectivity has brought about the Fieldbus Technology which is deemed to herald a new era in signal communications. This paper addresses the two applications of this new technology in the area of communications and a means of harnessing the data that can be made available from such devices.
