⏱

PROFINET Class C IRT

Conformance Class C IRT keeps cycle times under 1 ms with jitter below 1 µs — the determinism multi-axis motion and synchronized process automation demand.

🔌

Dual-Core Processing Power

Asymmetric ARM Cortex-A7 + Cortex-M4 isolates hard real-time control from edge analytics — so jitter stays low even as your data pipeline grows.

🏡

Modular High-Density I/O

Hot-swappable backplane expands Digital, Analog, Thermocouple and Encoder modules to 512 I/O points — grow the machine, not the cabinet.

🔨

Open IEC 61131-3 Ecosystem

Program in ST, Ladder Diagram or C/C++ with full CODESYS V3.5 and OpenPLC support — plus Linux containerized microservices for edge logic.

⚡

Industrial Cybersecurity

Hardware Security Engine with Secure Boot, encrypted OTA updates and TLS 1.3 / OPC UA security profiles — built for defense-in-depth.

🧩

Harsh Environment Reliability

Fanless DIN-rail design, EMC Level 4 immunity and –40°C to +85°C operation — built for the plant floor, not the lab.

System-Level Technical Specifications

System Solution
One-Stop Controller + Distributed I/O
The complete control-to-I/O platform from a single vendor — integrated engineering, one network, and one accountable partner from cabinet to field device.
System Real-Time Performance
RT ≤1 ms · IRT down to 31.25 µs · jitter <1 µs
Sub-millisecond cycles with sub-microsecond jitter across the entire system — the deterministic performance multi-axis motion and synchronized processes demand.
System Reliability
MRP ring redundancy · seamless failover
Redundant ring topology keeps the whole network running when a cable or device fails — no single point of failure, no production stoppage.
System Scalability
Line / Star / Tree / Ring · modular distributed I/O
Start with a few I/O points and scale to a full production line using the topology your plant already runs — grow capacity without re-architecting.
Integrated Engineering
CODESYS IEC 61131-3 · GSDML · TIA Portal / CODESYS
Program the controller and configure the I/O in a single environment — commissioning in hours, not days, without protocol-stack licensing or certification marathons.
System Diagnostics & Visibility
100 Mbps full-duplex · process data / diagnostics / parameters in parallel
A single visibility layer across every device — monitor process data, diagnostics and parameters in parallel to catch issues before they stop the line.
Bus Protocol Standard
PROFINET RT / IRT · IEC 61158 / IEC 61784
An internationally standardized, Conformance Class B/C network that drops straight into your existing PROFINET ecosystem — interoperable, future-proof, vendor-neutral.
Whole-System Environment
–55°C to +150°C
The entire system operates reliably in extreme cold and heat without auxiliary units — fewer field failures and lower maintenance cost.
System Power Flexibility
18V to 30V DC (24V standard)
Keeps the whole system running through voltage sags and long cable runs — fewer nuisance trips, simpler installation, and less unplanned downtime.
Full I/O Coverage
AI / AO / DI / DO
One platform covers analog and digital signals (4–20 mA, 0–10 V, RTD, PNP/NPN) — fewer SKUs, leaner spare-part stock, and modular scaling as your line grows.
System Security
IEC 62443-aligned · industrial isolation
Defense-in-depth security aligned with IEC 62443 plus galvanic isolation across the network — protected data and cleaner signals, end to end.
Hardware Anti-Interference
Schmitt Trigger 0.9V–2.1V
Hardware-grade noise immunity keeps misoperation below 0.1% even under 100 mV interference — stable signals mean consistent product quality and fewer stoppages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about PROFINET.

What is PROFINET?

PROFINET is the leading industrial Ethernet standard (IEC 61158 / IEC 61784) developed by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI). It delivers deterministic, real-time communication between controllers, field devices and IT systems over standard Ethernet infrastructure.

What is the difference between PROFINET and PROFIBUS?

PROFIBUS is a classic fieldbus based on RS-485, while PROFINET runs on standard Ethernet. PROFINET offers higher bandwidth, real-time communication, flexible topologies and native IT/OT integration.

What are RT and IRT in PROFINET?

RT (Real-Time) handles typical I/O and HMI traffic with cycle times down to about 1 ms. IRT (Isochronous Real-Time) adds hardware-based time synchronization for motion control applications, with cycle times as low as 31.25 µs.

Can PROFINET run on existing Ethernet infrastructure?

Yes. PROFINET is built on standard Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) and can coexist with TCP/IP traffic. For guaranteed real-time performance, we recommend managed industrial switches and proper network planning.

Is PROFINET secure?

PROFINET supports authentication, encryption and access control, and can be embedded in a defense-in-depth security concept aligned with IEC 62443.
