'''INTERBUS''' is a serial bus system which transmits data between control systems (e.g., PCs, PLCs, VMEbus computers, robot controllers etc.) and spatially distributed I/O modules that are connected to sensors and actuators (e.g., temperature sensors, position switches).
The '''INTERBUS''' system was developed by Phoenix Contact and has been available since 1987. It is one of the leading Fieldbus systems in the automation industry and is fully standardized according to European Standard '''EN 50254''' and '''IEC 61158'''.
At the moment, more than 600 manufacturers are involved in the implementation of '''INTERBUS''' technology in control systems and field devices.
Since 2011 the INTERBUS technology is hosted by the industry association Profibus and Profinet International.
