PBI-PLUS is a communication smart converter between PROFIBUS PA devices and an USB port. It originated with the need to interface PROFIBUS PA devices (transmitters, controllers, sensors, actuators, converters etc) with devices have USB ports such as PCs, notebooks etc.

PBI-PLUS enable the uses PCs and notebooks to implement this human-machine interface replacing, with several advantages, the dedicated terminals (programmers). It allows monitoring service, actuation, configuration and PA network management can be executed together the host (resident application), that it can implement since a simple programmer or line analyzer up to a supervisory system of process.
