PROFIBUS and PROFINET are industrial communication standards between PLCs and field devices (drives, remote I/O, weighing modules, valves).
PROFIBUS and PROFINET are industrial communication standards between PLCs and field devices (drives, remote I/O, weighing modules, valves). PROFIBUS is serial-bus based; PROFINET runs on industrial Ethernet and offers higher speed.
Correct network design is critical for system reliability and easy troubleshooting.
