2019-04-17staging: fieldbus: anybus-s: support HMS Anybus-S busSven Van Asbroeck1-2/+1
The Anybus-S/Anybus-M is a series of interchangeable fieldbus communication modules featuring on board memory and processing power. All software and hardware functionality required to communicate on the fieldbus is incorporated in the module itself, allowing the application to focus on other tasks. Typical applications are frequency inverters, HMI and visualization devices, instruments, scales, robotics, PLC’s and intelligent measuring devices.

2019-04-17staging: add Fieldbus Device subsystem.Sven Van Asbroeck1-0/+19
Fieldbus device (client) adapters allow data exchange with a PLC aka. "Fieldbus Controller" over a fieldbus (Profinet, FLNet, etc.) They are typically used when a Linux device wants to expose itself as an actuator, motor, console light, switch, etc. over the fieldbus. This framework is designed to provide a generic interface to Fieldbus Devices from both the Linux Kernel and the userspace.
