PROFINET Orientation Course
| What is PROFINET? |
PROFINET is an Industrial Ethernet standard for automation that includes plant-wide fieldbus communication, plant-to-office communication, and equipment-to-equipment integration. PROFINET can simultaneously handle standard TCP/IP and real-time transmissions at sub-millisecond speeds. Using proxy technology it easily connects to PROFIBUS; thus protecting the existing investments in plant equipment and networks.
PROFINET is using Industrial Ethernet as communication medium, which has a lot of myths that are gray areas to a lot of users like: cabling, security, determinism and speed. But there are more important aspects nobody is willing to answer: will maintenance activities change? what happens when the cable has a disturbance? the solution for process automation, investment costs and how many manufacturers are supplying products?
This training will take a closer peek on these issues as well as a detailed technical overview of the advantages that PROFINET will offer for your automation and production processes. PROFIBUS is the current standard and PROFINET is an interesting enhancement. A comparison with PROFIBUS is constantly made throughout the course so that the participant will have enough confidence to evaluate himself weather PROFINET is an appropriate solution for his automation requirements. All subjects will be finalized with a demonstration to get a direct link with the real world.
