Communication via PROFINET:
PROFINET (Process Field Network) is the open Industrial Ethernet Standard from Profibus &
Profinet International (PI) for automation.
Within the context of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA), PROFINET is the systematic
continuation of PROFIBUS DP, the established fieldbus, and Industrial Ethernet, the
communication bus for the cell level. Experiences from both systems have been and are
being integrated in PROFINET.
SIMOCODE pro V PN (High Performance unit) has two integrated PROFINET interfaces and
provides communication functions via PROFINET IO with the following properties:
● Integrated switch with two ports
● Device replacement without removable medium/programming device
● Shared device in combination with DF-FP modules
● Media redundancy
● System redundancy
● RT communication
● Support for PROFIenergy
SIMOCODE pro V PN GP (General Performance unit) has one/two integrated PROFINET
interface(s) and provides communication functions via PROFINET IO with the following
properties:
● Integrated switch with two ports (device with two ports)
● Device replacement without removable medium/programming device
● Shared device in combination with DF-FP modules
● Media redundancy (device with two ports)
● System redundancy
● RT communication
● Support for PROFIenergy
