What might one need to know before signing a manufacturing contract?

You should understand the terms and conditions the contract manufacturing has set forth in their proposal. You should also understand current shipping regulations, any potential threats to your intellectual rights and how to mend those issues, and simply be open to communicating your expectations so that both parties understand what type of product (this is good for quality assurance) should be created. The communication portion is key for you to understand just exactly what will happen throughout the process.


What is profibus?

Modbus is a industrial communications protocol designed by Modicon in 1979 widely used in industry, while Profibus is a field bus standard developed by various companies (among these Siemens) in the late 80s. Modbus is the protocol that defines how messages are going to be transferred and Profibus defines the standard (set of protocols) that rule the communication system. As you can see they are not exactly the same. However, both are extensively used in the manufacturing industry these days.
