PROFINET is the open, manufacturer-independent industrial Ethernet standard for production and process automation. Thanks to its scalable communication, it offers optimal performance and flexibility and meets all the requirements for the use of Ethernet in industrial automation. The PROFINET standard (IEC 61158/IEC 61784) also enables comprehensive implementation of the communication protocol in field devices. To […]
With PROFINET over APL, PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) provides a new, Ethernet-based communication protocol for the field level of process automation, which meets all requirements for robustness and simplicity on the basis of the new Advanced Physical Layer (Ethernet-APL). PROFINET over APL ensures fast, seamless access to data in field devices in process plants […]
PAANZ POST Dear all members,On Tuesday, 28th February 2023The first international PROFINET Technology Webinar is scheduled for this yearThe webinar will be shown twice:The first session will take place from 8am – 11am Central European Time (CET)The second session will be held in the afternoon from 4pm – 7pm CET Members are invited to participate […]
In the field of automation, security protection is indisputably becoming more and more important all the time. That is why the security experts at PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) have drawn up a comprehensive security concept using recognized methods & means and described it in specifications. Depending on the requirement situation, three PROFINET security classes […]
With completion of the V2.4 MU3 documentation, the experts at PI (PROFIBUS and PROFINET International) finished the specification work for PROFINET over TSN in mid 2022. The scope and depth of all the required TSN functions and the corresponding configuration using PROFINET resources are described in detail. Naturally, experience gained from the initial implementations and […]
TSN is considered key to network convergence – getting sensor data, process data, asset data, really any data from the OT network, to the cloud for analysis. The results from this analysis are then used to make adjustments to processes and take actions by the devices in the OT network to improve operational efficiencies, tweak […]
