3.4.1General 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

With IRT, a distinction is made between IRT with high flexibility and IRT with high performance.
