h the final packaging station, which is also controlled by INTERBUS. RESULTS/BENEFITS SUMMARY For reasons of time, the usually complex and cost-intensive parallel cabling was replaced by a modern automation system based on INTERBUS, greatly reducing the amount of cabling required, as well as the related labor and material costs. INTERBUS also made possible the separate, time-saving testing of each prefabricated, decentralized subdistribution boards. INTERBUS support of the decentralized contactor scheme also saved considerable implementation time, one of the principal reasons for this company’s decision to adopt INTERBUS as its networking standard.
