The standard descibes the data communication between laboratory apparatus and computer performed with multipoint connections via a PROFIBUS according to DIN EN 50170/2. The specified device profiles are specific for the PROFIBUS-PA and fit into the OSI Basic Reference Model according to ISO/IEC 7498-1 over layer 7. They have been derived by mapping of the non-bus-specific device profiles in DIN V 12900-3.
