 PBMaster is a software implementation of Profibus. The objective is to spread the use of the standard also in low-cost applications by using common hardware and open-source software.

 Although the Profibus was initially standardized in the late 1980s it is not easy to find any material to help design and system engineers develop new products. Nowadays Profibus still seems to be a domain of professional applications and commercial solutions. The main reason is probably based on the **high price of all Profibus products**, whether hardware or software solutions.

 The PBMaster project comes with its solution in the field of this popular industrial bus. The key to achieving these objectives is in using common **inexpensive hardware** and **open source software**. Presently, the software runs on several operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD) and sys-less embedded hardware based on the ARM architecture. The objectives are to offer multi-platform drivers, libraries and applications capable of carrying out the master, slave and analyzer functions of the Profibus DP. In the future the project will try to offer a complex and inexpensive solution with open code for applications using Profibus DP.
