PROFINET
PROFINET is the open, multi-vendor Industrial Ethernet standard for automation. It enables integrated communication, from the corporate management level down to the field level, and meets the high demands of industry, e.g. industry-standard installation systems, real-time capability, isochronous motion control applications, multi-vendor engineering, etc. A wide product range is already available with active and passive network components, controllers, distributed field devices and components for Industrial Wireless LAN and Industrial Security
 
PROFINET - Industrial Ethernet

Distributed Field Devices
The direct connection of distributed field devices to Industrial Ethernet is problem-free, supports high-speed data exchange between I/O and controller, and provides excellent diagnostic features. Systems in IP20 and IP65/67 are available for distributed I/Os.
