Networks, the next generation Building on our experience with PROFIBUS, Omron of industrial automation systems, Omron delivers is now a front runner in the support and development equipment for installations throughout the world. of PROFINET-IO, an open ‘Industrial Ethernet’ solution set to become Europe’s next-generation field network.

Omron’s SmartSlice PROFINET-IO Unit gives the option Combining the ease of use of PROFIBUS-DP with of linking devices in the conventional line topology used with a standard Ethernet physical layer, PROFINET-IO offers most field buses. No additional hardware is needed.

Naturally, PROFINET is inherently reliable in its own right, but increased reliability of the network connection can be achieved by closing the line structure to form a ring. The advantage of a ring structure is that any single cable failure or malfunction in one device will not lead to a disruption in communication between other connected devices.

SmartSLice stations with built in MRP client; greatly reduce the installation costs. Case study: Marine applications Control system design for ships is going through a rapid change towards fully integrated automation systems. Monitoring and control of e.g. power generation, HVAC, pumps and winches are made fully transparent, and remotely accessible.

One tool for all networks Managers), these plugins provide a user interface for setting Ease of use is the key to PROFINET’s success. And if you up and maintaining a device, and handle the communication currently use Omron’s highly popular CX-One software, you over the network.

It uses a separate communication processor to guarantee reliable, high-level performance independent of the PLC program or its CPU speed. As it is transparent to Omron’s own FINS communication protocol, the PROFINET IO controller also provides a communication channel so that legacy devices or existing software tools can be used to exchange data with the PLC CPU through the PROFINET controller.
