System Description: PROFINET Technology and Application

PROFINET is a modern concept for distributed automation standards; it is based on Ethernet and integrates existing fieldbus systems (in particular PROFIBUS) simply and without change. With its integrated, Ethernet-based communication, PROFINET satisfies a wide range of requirements, from data-intensive parameter assignment to synchronous I/O signal transmission. Communication takes place over the same cable in all applications, ranging from simple control tasks to highly demanding motion control applications. TCP/IP-based communication in a PROFINET network is always possible in parallel. The PROFINET System Description gives you a comprehensive overview of the PROFINET technology.
