'''INTERBUS''' is a [serial bus](/source/serial_communication) system which transmits data between [control system](/source/control_system)s (e.g., [PC](/source/personal_computer)s, [PLC](/source/programmable_logic_controller)s, [VMEbus](/source/VMEbus) computers, [robot](/source/industrial_robot) controllers etc.) and spatially distributed I/O modules that are connected to [sensor](/source/sensor)s and [actuator](/source/actuator)s (e.g., temperature sensors, position switches).

The '''INTERBUS''' system was developed by [Phoenix Contact](/source/Phoenix_Contact) and has been available since 1987. It is one of the leading [Fieldbus](/source/Fieldbus) systems in the automation industry and is fully standardized according to [European Standard](/source/European_Standard) '''EN 50254''' and '''IEC 61158'''.

At the moment, more than 600 manufacturers are involved in the implementation of '''INTERBUS''' [technology](/source/technology) in control systems and field devices.

Since 2011 the INTERBUS technology is hosted by the industry association [Profibus and Profinet International](/source/Profibus_and_Profinet_International).
