The Dürr Group's core competencies include project and construction management for tunnel and traffic safety technology, planning and documentation services, on-site installation, process control technology with all the associated activities, from the preparation of the requirement specification, to system programming and visualization, all the way to the commissioning of the entire plant.

The customer had the following objectives:

• Standardized communication in the tunnel area via Modbus/TCP
• Simple engineering via MFCT
• Good diagnostic possibilities via MFCT
• High plant availability

• Support during the pilot phase (CVCC)
• Implementation of relevant features in coordination with customers
• Modbus/TCP supported for all relevant modules
• ET 200 MultiFieldbus

In the course of digitalization and the increasing networking of plants, the communication capability of field devices is becoming increasingly important. In Europe's most modern tunnel research facility, Dürr, as a specialist in tunnel engineering, is using the SIMATIC ET 200SP MultiFieldbus interface module, which can communicate via Ethernet protocols PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP.
