Thanks to the VXLAN transmission technology, PROFINET can be used for communication over a private 5G network. This enables real-time communication and the use of a central control system for several mobile participants.
With the impressive growth of IO-Link, companies are now adding IO-Link Safety products to their portfolio and TÜV Süd has joined the IO-Link Community to support the certification of these devices.
Continuing the positive trend for PI technology, PROFINET is fast approaching the 50 million installed devices milestone, while IO-Link is experiencing extraordinary growth. With Ethernet-APL, PROFINET is well positioned for the future in process automation as well.
Join us in Hall 9, Booth D68 for live demonstrations, technology presentations, and product information from our co-exhibitors. Visitors can also look forward to seeing and learning about topics such as TSN, security, PROFINET with OPC UA, as well as a completely new TSN demo with a wide variety of products.
A new white paper describes how OPC UA information models open up data access for existing and future PROFINET devices. The first standardized, open information models for PROFINET and IO-Link are already available. Also, watch a short video that summarizes the uses and benefits of structured information models.
