PROFINET offers much higher performance than PROFIBUS and other fieldbuses in terms of:
- Unlimited scalability
- Unlimited address space
- Larger message size (1440 bytes vs. 244)
- Machine 2 Machine (M2M) communication
- Vertical integration capabilities
- The possibility to coordinates more drive axes (32 axes vs. >150) – with IRT updates in 1 ms range, with less than 1 us jitter
- It’s faster too, which means more application potential and fewer interfaces
