PROFINET is the innovative and open Industrial Ethernet standard (IEC 61158) for industrial automation. With PROFINET, devices can be linked up from the field level through to the management level.
PROFINET enables system-wide communication, supports plant-wide engineering and applies IT standards right down to the field level. IT communication, data communication and cyclic process communication are combined on the basis of Industrial Ethernet.
Existing fieldbus systems such as PROFIBUS can be easily integrated without any modification of existing devices.
