PROFIBUS is used in more than 1,000,000 applications to solve all kinds of automation challenges in manufacturing and process control.
PROFINET distinguishes two views: PROFINET IO for integration of distributed I/O and PROFINET CBA for creation of modular plants.

Below are a number of application reports which show how PROFIBUS and PROFINET can be used to resolve an automation task. These examples clearly demonstrate the benefits of PROFIBUS in comparison with traditional technology and of PROFINET in comparison with other Ethernet solutions.

PROFIBUS - Proven in many Industrial Applications

PROFINET - The integrated and open Industrial Ethernet standard for automation
