Connection of field devices to Industrial Ethernet with PROFINET
Integrated 2-port switches allow direct connection to PROFINET networks with line or ring topologies and MRP media redundancy
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 real-time ASICs 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, inc. switching the host PC on and off
Simple transfer to various operating system environments using the DK HN-IE PN IO development kit
Switch mode also with the PC switched off, via optional external power supply (in RT mode only)
Uncrossed connecting cables can be used due to the integrated Autocrossover function
