Profinet beN­e­fits COMPARED TO Profibus

• PROFINET is the more mod­ern tech­nol­o­gy and eas­i­er to con­nect
• Sig­nif­i­cant­ly high­er trans­mis­sion rate and thus faster com­mu­ni­ca­tion
• In­te­grat­ed 2-port switch for easy lin­ear topol­o­gy ca­bling
• PROFINET sup­ports the Media Re­dun­dan­cy Pro­to­col (MRP), which en­ables ring topol­o­gy ca­bling for high­er re­li­a­bil­i­ty
