The PROFINET IO-Device driver allows the simulator to communicate with one or multiple pieces of equipment configured with a PROFINET IO Controller interface. The PROFINET IO-Device interface can operate over TCP/IP using an Ethernet physical link connected to a network and be detected via DCP (Discovery and Configuration Protocol). |
PROFINET (Process Field Network) is an industry technical standard for data communication over Industrial Ethernet, designed for collecting data from, and controlling equipment in industrial systems, with a particular strength in delivering data under tight time constraints. The standard is maintained and supported by PROFIBUS and PROFINET International, an umbrella organization headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany (source: Wikipedia). |
