PROFIBUScommunicationreal-time

Proven. Performant. Realize the tremendous economic potential of digitalization and networking of OT and IT with PROFINET. The leading Industrial Ethernet standard for automation supports you at the field level in creating integrated processes with real-time communication and connecting them up to the cloud via OPC UA. Advantage with PROFINET – Productivity to the power of four PROFINET gives you new ways to boost your productivity with four key advantages – openness, flexibility, efficiency, and performance. Consistent openness today and tomorrow PROFINET embodies the idea of enabling manufacturer-neutral automation solutions with an open standard. PROFINET is 100 percent Industrial Ethernet – the standard that has been established in industrial communications since the 1990s. This creates the basis for a uniform automation network to which automation devices and standard Ethernet devices can be connected. Manufacturer neutrality – connectivity and interoperability with components from various manufacturers Investment protection – because you can continue using existing PROFINET projects and programs when you use TSN in future, and existing PROFIBUS installations can still be integrated Commissioning, diagnostics, and remote maintenance using standard web technologies – because PROFINET is 100 percent Ethernet and supports TCP/IP Assured ongoing development – PROFINET harmonizes perfectly with cutting-edge standards such as OPC UA, thanks to IEC/IEEE conformity
