Communication over PROFINET or PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS has been established for years as the fieldbus for machines and plants. Based
on serial bus technology, it is the foundation for the distributed concepts that are common
today.
PROFINET unites the industrial experience of PROFIBUS with the openness and flexible
options of Ethernet. PROFINET enables high-speed and secure data exchange at all levels,
thus making it possible to implement innovative machine and plant concepts.
