Description:
The PROFINET Plugfest provides the opportunity for device and controller manufacturers to evaluate their products in an environment that comes close to the real automation world. Companies bring their own products for collaborative testing. Testing is carried out in small groups around individual controllers with the devices circulating among various controllers prior to creating one large network. Since every participant aims to learn the limits of their tested devices, a confidential atmosphere is a basic condition.
