Last month, PI North America and the PICC/PITC Argentina hosted a successful webinar in Spanish language: "Diseño de Redes PROFINET." The event was the first in a 3-part training series. You can register online for the upcoming webinars on PROFINET network installation, and maintenance + diagnostics -both also in Spanish language.
These new whiteboard videos explain complex and valuable concepts in less than 5 minutes: "Helpful Troubleshooting Tips for PROFIBUS Projects" and "Debunking Industry Myths: Is PROFINET Proprietary?" Watch them here today!
This short video covers an overview of PROFINET, including protocol mechanisms, installation, configuration, network components in just under 10 minutes. Watch it today!
Operational Technology (OT) has come a long way since the first proprietary serial protocols and has adapted to many technological changes. The convergence of OT and IT is one of the most challenging ones. OT and IT have very different requirements – especially when it comes to diagnostics.
![PROFINET vs Ethernet [New White Paper]](https://profinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/pn-vs-ethernett-960-540.png)
What is the difference between PROFINET and Ethernet? Can you give us a PROFINET vs. Ethernet comparison? We get these questions quite often. This White Paper helps clear any doubts by explaining the difference between PROFINET and Ethernet with technical details and examples.
The new guide is aimed toward device manufacturers and solution providers looking to implement PROFINET in devices, controllers, or machines. It explains how testing and certification work, how to prepare for testing, and how to get a product certified. Download it here...
PROFINET over 10BASE-T1L use-cases, including Ethernet-APL, continue to expand across process and factory automation driven by the requirement to connect more field devices to PROFINET networks. Different options exist for integrating Ethernet-APL into instruments depending on their size and capabilities.
What are the differences between 4-20 mA and digital fieldbuses? How and when did the transition occur? This whiteboard animation video covers all you need to know about 4-20 mA and fieldbus communication.
