An Infobox fieldbus protocol may be used to summarise information about a fieldbus protocol.

Usage

edit

The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article. None of the parameters are forced, but at least the name should be provided. For an example, see Foundation Fieldbus H1.
