FUSION/Compact FUSION: PROFINET

Summary

Ethernet is a familiar network framework available on a huge range of technologies and devices. The PROFINET fieldbus option uses Ethernet communication to make accessing your controller easier and more efficient. Additionally, PROFINET simplifies cabling between the controller and I/O devices.
