CODESYS PROFINET Controller SL Article no. 2303000015

PROFINET (Process Field Network) is an open standard for realtime industrial Ethernet systems in automation technology. It is promoted by the user organization PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International as an umbrella group of the PROFIBUS user organization PNO) and is regarded as the successor of PROFIBUS. PROFINET uses IEEE 802.3 (Standard Ethernet) based Profinet RT protocol for realtime cyclic IO data exchange and UDP/IP for acyclic services.

The fully integrated CODESYS PROFINET Solution provides a uniform configurator for different variants of underlying PROFINET Controller communication stacks:

CODESYS PROFINET Controller (IEC)

Protocol stack in the form of a CODESYS library (in IEC 61131-3 code), operates on standard network interface cards.

For CODESYS Control RTE high performance ethernet adapter drivers are available (see requirements).

The ethernet adapter is not used exclusively, it’s still available for all other applications using TCP/IP on this adapter (e.g. CODESYS Visualisation, Web Browser).
