PROFINET

The "PROFINET" field bus system permits enhanced system-wide connectivity, adding to tried and proven PROFIBUS technology for applications specifying fast data communication in combination with industrial IT functionality. Thanks to its Ethernet-based communication, PROFINET meets a wide range of requirements, from data-intensive parameter assignments to synchronised data transfer. Communication for all applications is routed through just one cable. Whether for a simple control task or for highly dynamic motion control of drive axes. TCP/IP-based communication in the PROFINET network enabling extensive system diagnostics in a control station or over the Internet is implemented in parallel with real-time communication.
