PROFINET is a network for industrial use that applies industrial Ethernet (100 Mbps, full duplex
) to
PROFIBUS DP.
PROFINET is an open standard that is managed by PI (PROFIBUS and PROFINET International) and
is used in a variety of types of industrial equipment. Because PROFINET uses standard Ethernet
technology, a variety of general-purpose Ethernet devices can be included in the network.
