General information about PROFINET communication

Overview
PROFINET is an open component-based industrial communication system using Ethernet
(IEC 61158) for distributed automation systems.
The PROFINET interface supports operation of SIMOTION D410 PN as IO controller and/or
as intelligent device.
PROFINET distinguishes between the controller and its assigned devices. Controller and
devices form a PROFINET IO system, comparable to a master-slave system on PROFIBUS.
SIMOTION D410 PN supports the following PROFINET communication methods:
● RT
● IRT
