PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is the world’s most successful Fieldbus and is used in several industries around the world. We provide PROFIBUS solutions, services, training, analysis tools, network components, and protocol converters.
What is PROFIBUS?
Process Field Bus (PROFIBUS) is a digital network responsible for providing communication between the field sensors and the control system. The first idea during its development was to have PROFIBUS solutions implemented in factory automation industries, the process industries, manufacturing, etc.
To understand how PROFIBUS works, it is important to understand digital communication systems, as well as the physics that allow these communications to operate. For more information on digital communication systems, click here.

PROFIBUS Solutions and Services
Industrial ICT Solutions
We specialise in industrial applications, everything from process control systems, sensor technology, and systems engineering to custom development, data acquisition, logging, monitoring, and alerting.
Control Network Audits
Identify potential threats and discover inefficiencies in your infrastructure. We take a holistic view of your network and provide suggestions for improving your network performance.
Control Network Call Outs
System failures, connectivity issues, and network latency can disrupt performance and throughput, costing you more resources. We provide standard and emergency call-out services.

We are a Certified PROFIBUS/PROFINET International Competence Centre
The IDX Academy received its certification from PROFIBUS International (PI) to become the first, and only, Certified PROFIBUS International Competence Centre (PICC) on the continent of Africa in 2002. Later, with the emergence of PROFINET, the IDX Academy extended its PI Certification to include PROFINET and to become a Certified PROFINET International Competence Centre (PICC) as well.
