The tale is told in storybook form with three main characters that give a whimsical overview of the key differences and advantages of PROFINET over other fieldbus protocols. The main characters are Pretty Polly the myth-spreading parrot, Sweet SUE (Standard Unmodified Ethernet) and PROFINET: the White Knight of fieldbus networks that offers optimized solutions for all aspects of industrial automation. The booklet offers more than 40 pages of useful information written in simple straightforward language. Other offerings include humorous, colorful illustrations and keywords coded in blue that correspond with a glossary of commonly used terms. The booklet explains why PROFINET is the all-encompassing automation solution and the leading Industrial Ethernet standard. It is the only single-network solution for factory and process automation, discrete and motion control, vertical and horizontal integration and safety. It includes plant-wide fieldbus communication, plant-to-office communication and equipment-to-equipment integration. PROFINET can simultaneously handle standard TCP/IP transmissions and real-time and isochronous real-time transmissions at sub-millisecond speeds. PROFINET embraces industry standards like Ethernet, TCP/IP, XML and OPC, and is supported by more than 1,400 PI member companies worldwide. The PTO is a non-profit corporation working to enhance the PROFIBUS and PROFINET standards while educating and assisting users and device manufacturers throughout North America on the advantages of PROFIBUS and PROFINET. |
