PROFINET CBA
Within the framework of PROFINET, PROFINET CBA is an automation concept for the
implementation of applications with distributed intelligence.
PROFINET CBA lets you create distributed automation solutions, based on default
components and partial solutions.
Component-based Automation allows you to use complete technological modules as
standardized components in large systems.
The components are also created in an engineering tool which may differ from vendor to
vendor. Components of SIMATIC devices are created, for example, with STEP 7.

PROFINET IO
Within the framework of PROFINET, PROFINET IO is a communication concept for the
implementation of modular, distributed applications.
PROFINET IO allows you to create automation solutions, which are familiar to you from
PROFIBUS.
That is, you have the same application view in STEP 7, regardless of whether you configure
PROFINET or PROFIBUS devices.
