NETWORKING
GROUPS OF PROTOCOLS
• Fieldbus
Current mainstream and getting older now.
• Based on Ethernet(Industrial Ethernet)
New technology. Higher speed and large data.
• Protocol for Building Automation
Not real-time communication, but specialization for BA.
Modbus-RTU, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, CC-Link, T-Link, SX-bus
Modbus-TCP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, (EtherCAT), (PowerLink)
METASYS-N2, Siemens FLN P1, Lonworks, BACnet (IP, RS485)

ETHERNET IP
Industrial Protocol originally developed
by Rockwell Automation. It treats
devices on the network as objects and
is compatible with DeviceNET and
ControlNET.
- Successor of DeveiceNet and ControllNet
(Integration)
- Standard protocol for Allen Bradly’ s PLC
- Number of Node, Baudrate and Max Cable Length
: Depends on Ethernet
- MEGA’s supports 100BASE-TX
- Not suitable for Motion control.
PROFIBUS DP
Originally developed by the German Department
of Education. Links a controller or a control system
with field devices. Supported by Siemens.
- Most popular in the world (EU, CHINA)
- Standard protocol for Siemens’ PLC
- Max. 126 Slaves/segment
- Baudrate: 9.6Kbps thru 12Mbps
- Total cable Length Max. 3937Ft @93.75Kbps or less
- Data length : 244bytes max.
- Enough specification even as an old network
but being replaced with PROFINET
PROFINET
An Ethernet based communication Protocol.
Devices can run on the same
Ethernet network as the office computers.
- Most popular network as an industrial Ethernet
- Standard protocol for Siemens’ PLC
- Number of Node, Baudrate and Max Cable Length
: Depends on Ethernet cabling
- PROFINET supports 100BASE-TX
- Generally use : PROFINET RT
PROFINET-RT
OVERVIEW OF PROFINET
PROFINET
It’s an Ethernet version of PROFIBUS
OVERVIEW OF PROFINET
PROFINET vs PROFIBUS
Physical layer 100Base-TX RS-485
Baud rate 100 Mbps
(depends on Ethernet)
12 Mbps max
Wire Length 100m (Device to
controller or switch)
100m-1200m (Totally)
Number of Device No limit
(depends on IP
address)
Up to 126
Other Wireless
Web access
Internet connectivity
No supported
WHY PROFINET?
Why PROFINET? (Pros.)
• High Performance (speed and data cap.)
• Easy connectivity with PC/ Internet
• Coexistence on 1 line
(Quick, Slow Device, PC, HMI and Office)
• Stronger Redundancy (Ring Topology)
• Accepts other benefits of Advance
Ethernet technology
WHY PROFINET?
High performance
Our Target
WHY PROFINET?
Connectivity with Office LAN/ Internet
WHY PROFINET?
Coexistence
Slow, Quick, PC, HMI and Printer on the 1 network
WHY PROFINET?
Coexistence
No need to think hierarchy
WHY PROFINET?
Coexistence
No hierarchy, just ONE PROFINET
