Hello doggali; You will find one description of plant and terminal bus in the following document: SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 PC Configuration and Authorization (V8.0) With PCS 7, the AS, OS, BATCH, Route Control and ES communicate via a bus system, basedon an industrial Ethernet. The bus system in PCS 7 consists of: · Terminal bus · Plant bus In multiple station systems we would recommend separating the terminal bus and plant bus.In small systems, a bus system with a shared plant/terminal bus can be used. So basically, the terminal bus is more often dedicated to exchanges between the servers and clients; the plant bus is more appropriate to exchanges between the automation systems, in a multiple station system.This is further detailed in the pages following the one extracted in the attachment below. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hello DChartier, If anyone have to exchange data between Field instruments then it'll be characterised under Plant Bus, so is what referred to the attachment in the case of DCS. But how to explain that in case of PLC or lower/basic PLC's Regards KKDAS |
