PROFINET

Lab ready Full lab

Industrial Ethernet from PROFIBUS International with Real-Time (RT) and Isochronous Real-Time (IRT) classes for cyclic IO. Device description uses GSDML; discovery often relies on DCP and name assignment before cyclic connections. It coexists with TCP/IP on switched networks when designed carefully.
