Our seven technologies form the foundation for end-to-end industrial communication, from manufacturing and process automation to modular plant concepts and smart sensors.
PROFIBUS, PROFINET, IO-Link, omlox, SRCI, MTP, and NOA are the building blocks of interoperable, efficient, and future-proof automation solutions.
PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is an internationally recognized communication standard for industrial automation.
It facilitates the reliable exchange of data between controllers, sensors, and actuators in manufacturing and process automation.
Due to its high robustness and flexibility, PROFIBUS supports efficient and reliable automation processes in a variety of industries.
PROFINET
PROFINET is an open industrial Ethernet standard for industrial automation.
It facilitates the fast, reliable communication of controllers, field devices, and other components within machines and systems.
Due to its high performance and flexibility, PROFINET is the basis for modern, networked, and future-proof automation solutions.
IO-Link
IO-Link is an internationally standardized communication system that intelligently connects sensors and actuators in industrial automation.
It facilitates the exchange of data in both directions between field devices and controllers, forming the basis for communication from start to finish, even at the lowest field level.
With additional diagnostic and parameter data, IO-Link supports efficient commissioning, maintenance, and process optimization.
About IO-Link Technology
omlox
omlox is an open standard that enables the seamless tracking of objects and people in industrial environments.
It allows for the use of various tracking technologies from different manufacturers and establishes a unified basis for providing and processing location data.
These capabilities support transparent processes, efficient material flow control, and the digitization of industrial value chains.
SRCI
The Standard Robot Command Interface (SRCI) is a concept that allows industrial robots from different manufacturers to be programmed and controlled.
SRCI allows robots from different manufacturers to be integrated into automation systems, simplifying communication between the controller and the robot.
This reduces engineering effort and enables the implementation of flexible, interoperable automation solutions.
MTP
MTP (Module Type Package) is a standardized concept for modularly automating process plants.
It allows process plant modules from different vendors to be integrated and orchestrated into a higher-level control system.
MTP reduces engineering effort, allows for quicker commissioning of plants, and enables flexible adaptation of production processes to new requirements.
NOA
NOA (NAMUR Open Architecture) is an architectural concept that enables the secure and efficient use of process data in industrial settings.
It provides access to supplementary information from existing automation systems without compromising the primary functions of process control.
Thus, NOA forms the foundation for end-to-end data analysis, improved plant monitoring, and optimized industrial processes.
