Implementation options
Depending on the functionality required (Conformance Class), it is essential to select the suitable type of implementation for each individual case.
Development environment
A variety of starter kits and evaluation boards are available for almost every implementation
method.
Hardware/software design
The plan of action and expenditure required for hardware and software design depend heavily on the selected implementation method.
GSD file
To enable fast and easy configuration of an automation system, manufacturers of field devices must provide a PROFINET device description file.
