The success of an automation solution depends on how well it can be integrated with existing components and networks. That’s why Siemens put so much emphasis on industry standards in creating  PROFINET.

All PROFINET components are integrated via Ethernet, and existing PROFIBUS networks are seamlessly incorporated via proxy masters. As a result, plant construction firms and operators alike can profit from quick implementation and from maximum investment security – both today and as the plant expands in the future.
