Beyond the Basics: PROFINET Optional Features
All PROFINET products are developed according to international standards and certified by the PROFIBUS and PROFINET International organization. Aside from the mandatory characteristics in each conformance class, PI defines a list of optional features. These features are not required in all PROFINET devices; nonetheless, they can provide tremendous added value. From an end-user perspective, PROFINET optional features add functionality, such as increased redundancy, remote access, and extended device information.
This webinar starts with a brief overview of the three PROFINET conformance classes. Then, it continues to explain several PROFINET optional features: Device Redundancy, Controller Redundancy, Shared Device, Dynamic Reconfiguration, Fast Startup, iPar Server, and much more. These features might help you with a particular application or give you a competitive edge!
