PROFINET is an industrial communication protocol widely used in automation and control systems. It is an open standard based on Ethernet technology that provides high-speed, real-time communications for connected devices in industrial environments. PROFINET allows seamless integration of various components such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interfaces (HMIs), I/O modules, drives and other devices in industrial automation networks.

The main functions and features of ROFINET include:

Based on Ethernet: PROFINET utilizes Ethernet as its underlying communication technology. This allows the use of standard Ethernet hardware, cabling and infrastructure. It supports fast data transfer rates, typically up to 100Mbps or even 1Gbps, depending on the implementation.

Real-time communication: PROFINET supports real-time and non-real-time communication. Real-time communications are critical for applications that require deterministic, time-sensitive data transfer, such as motion control, synchronized system operations, and safety-related functions.

Scalability and flexibility: PROFINET provides scalability, allowing networks with a small number of devices to large systems with thousands of devices. It supports a wide range of devices including controllers, sensors, actuators and HMI devices, making it flexible for different industrial applications.

As a powerful and flexible communication solution, PROFINET is increasingly popular in modern industrial applications. By combining the advantages of Ethernet technology with real-time functionality, scalability and ease of integration, PROFINET provides a perfect communication solution for industrial automation networks.

Today we mainly introduce the supporting accessories of PROFINET; many people know about PROFINET, but many users often don’t know the cables it uses. It uses matching connectors.

PROFINET cable:

• Cable: PROFINET is a 4-core cable, normally American specification 4X22AWG;

• 
  

• Cable: Whether to choose fixed installation or flexible installation with drag chain;

• 
  

• PROFINET cables normally belong to Industrial Ethernet Cat5e;

• 
  

• The normal PROFINET protocol cable purchased from an external source has a green sheath;

PROFINET Connector:

• ；

• The port that connects to the PLC or industrial switch is usually an RJ45 interface; tool-free on-site puncture type. It adopts on-site tool-free puncture crimping method to reduce on-site operation steps.

• 
  

• Connected to the PROFINET IP67 fieldbus module, the M12 D-coded pin end is also often used

M12 connector D-coded plug-in:

In view of the tediousness of the existing screw-type crimping, Fu Yansheng developed the M12 shielded plug-in type, which greatly reduces the installation and locking time on site and improves work efficiency by 30%;

I hope that the above introduction can help more friends in reducing the on-site operation of connectors, reducing manpower and improving efficiency; of course, if you have more relevant content, welcome additions or suggestions.
