OT Security – PROFINET and IEC62443
This white paper first provides an overview of the various parts of the IEC 62443 series of standards and briefly describes their contents. This is followed by an assignment of the standard parts to the players in the OT security process. Building on these front-up considerations, a classification of PROFINET follows.
PROFINET Product Testing & Certification Guide
By reading this document, device manufacturers will learn how testing and certification work, how to prepare for testing, and how to get a product certified. Also, this guide contains suggestions and resources to complete the certification process with ease.
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. This is an important aspect for meeting the demand for consistency from the corporate management level to the field level. Furthermore, it represents a key contribution to providing the user with security for his investment in that existing parts of a system can be incorporated in PROFINET without needing to be changed.
System Description: PROFIBUS Technology and Application
PROFIBUS is a vendor-independent, open field bus standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing and process automation. Vendor-independence and openness are ensured by the international standards IEC 61158 and IEC 61784. PROFIBUS allows communication between devices of different manufacturers without any special interface adjustment. PROFIBUS can be used for both high-speed time-critical applications and complex communication tasks. Through its continuing further technical developments, PROFIBUS is still the industrial communication system prepared for the future.
PROFINET Slide Set
PROFINET is the leading communication protocol for automation, with 4.5 million devices brought to market in 2017 and a total of approximately 21 million installed devices. The PROFINET basic slide set gives a comprehensive overview on the PROFINET technology. The document goes over a brief overview of the technology and continues with a detailed description of the protocol and many of its features. The final section covers the requirements of Industrie 4.0 and how PROFINET is a future-proof solution.
PROFIBUS Slide Set
PROFIBUS is the fieldbus-based automation standard of PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI), the largest automation community in the world. The PROFIBUS basic slide set gives a comprehensive overview on the PROFIBUS technology. While presenting PROFIBUS technology as a whole it concentrates on its PROFIBUS PA version. Over time PROFIBUS technologies have been and will be further complemented and replaced with the even more powerful, Ethernet-based PROFINET technology. This will also happen in the process automation application field. Therefore this document includes PROFINET technology details.
Marketing Flyer: PROFINET
The power of innovation of over 1,400 member companies has made PROFIBUS the most successful fieldbus worldwide. PROFINET users can also benefit fully from this advantage because existing PROFIBUS segments can be totally integrated into PROFINET. PROFIBUS & PROFINET International supports vendors of automation and field devices as well as automation system users with the specification of the PROFINET concept, including the engineering concept; availability of the PROFINET software; certification of PROFINET products; support from experienced Competence Centers, etc.
PROFINET Guideline for Cabling and Assembly
The aim of this PROFINET Installation Guideline is to support service technicians who have to install PROFINET cables, allowing them to professionally complete their job. Background knowledge about PROFINET mounting and cabling is not required. However, a basic technical knowledge of electrical installation is assumed.
PROFINET Guideline for Commissioning with Checklists
The aim of this guideline is to support you when commissioning PROFINET systems. It also provides guidance on the verification of the correct installation of PROFINET systems. Moreover, this commissioning guideline helps with detection and location of possible errors. As a result, this guideline addresses topics relevant not only to commissioning staff but also to service personnel.
PROFINET Design Guideline with Tool
The goal of this PROFINET Design Guideline is to support engineers who have to design PROFINET automation systems, to facilitate the professional design of plants and to serve as a helpful guide for the step-by-step design of a plant. Background knowledge about PROFINET mounting and cabling is not required. However, a basic technical knowledge of electrical installation is assumed.
