Introduction

SIMATIC NET

Networking for Industry

Communications networks are an important component of

automation solutions. SIMATIC NET Networking for Industry

offers a wide range of modular components designed for

industry to solve your communications tasks efficiently:

For the different automation tasks

Throughout the entire workflow.

Throughout the plant's entire life cycle.

For all sectors.

SIMATIC NET offers solutions that not only utilize the benefits

of Ethernet, but also easily integrate fieldbus systems.

Some prominent examples are: Making the field level available for Industrial Ethernet

applications.

Uniformity from the field level right up to the corporate

management level.

Pushing ahead with mobile communication.

Integration of IT technologies.

SIMATIC NET supports the following bus systems:

Industrial Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u) today the

international standard for area networking is the global No. 1

network in the LAN sector with a share of over 90 %. High-

performance communications networks spanning large

distances can be created over Industrial Ethernet

The PROFINET international standard (IEC 61158/61784)uses Industrial Ethernet, and permits real-time communi-

cation down to the field level, but also incorporates the enter-

prise level. With full utilization of existing IT standards,

PROFINET also allows isochronous motion control applica-

tions, efficient cross-vendor engineering, and high machine

and plant availability on the Industrial Ethernet.

PROFINET supports distributed automation (also controller-to-

controller communication) and permits fail-safe applications.

PROFIBUS (IEC 61158/61784) the international standard for

the field level is the global market leader in the fieldbus area.

As only fieldbus it permits communication both in production-

and process-oriented applications.AS-Interface (IEC 62026-2/EN 50295) as low-cost alter-

native to the cable harness, AS-Interface links sensors and

actuators over a two-wire line.

IO-Link the standard for intelligent interfacing of sensors

and actuators from the field level up to the operations

management level.
