Industrial communication with PROFIBUS and PROFINET
Fieldbus systems and, increasingly, Industrial Ethernet have become
firmly established in today's industrial communication. With its PROFIBUS
and PROFINET technology, PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET has been offering optimum
solutions for all aspects of industrial communication for many years.
PROFINET, which is based on Ethernet TCP/IP, supplements the proven PROFIBUS
technology for industrial communication applications.
With more than 35 million installed devices, PROFIBUS has been the market
leader in industrial communication for many years. Currently, PROFINET has
over 3 million installed devices. A dramatic shift in fieldbus technologies
in the Ethernet direction can be observed in users at present. This will
again fundamentally change the basis for industrial communication in
upcoming years.
A current technical publication of VDE Verlag “Fieldbus and Ethernet
Industrial Communication” sheds light on all aspects of industrial
communication, e.g., how the various fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet
systems differ and their relative strengths and user benefits. The
publication “Fieldbus and Ethernet Industrial Communication” is available in
German and English.
