Connection of field devices to Industrial Ethernet with PROFINET
Ideally suited for design of small local networks through integral 4-port real-time switch
Direct memory access to process data by linking as PROFINET IO-Controller via IO-Base interface
High computing power is available in the PC by taking the load off the host CPU by means of a real-time ASIC ERTEC 400 with support of the PROFINET real-time features RT and IRT
Implementation in Motion Control applications thanks to support of IRT
Energy savings thanks to support of PROFIenergy
Simple portability to various operating system environments using DK-16xx PN IO development kit
Switch mode even with PC switched off, via optional external power supply (in RT mode only, for 6GK1160-4AA01 only)
Uncrossed connecting cables can be used due to the integrated Autocrossover function
Suitable for railway applications acc. to EN 50155 / IEC 60571 (EEC variant 6GK1160-4AT01 only)
