Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROFINET are industrial Ethernet networks connecting sensor, actuators and controllers to operator panels, product planning and ordering systems. The technology represented a huge advance and intelligence over the systems of 2000s when many fieldbus systems were maturing and industrial Ethernet systems were appearing in automation systems. PROFINET builds on the advantages of the fieldbus systems, especially, PROFIBUS. For example, PROFINET systems enable simple automation system integration with the Internet and are merging with the new development in IoT (Internet of Things) and becoming the backbone of the 4th industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). This book is based on the success of the series, PROFIBUS in Practice, covering the engineering practice, techniques and engineering tools for PROFINET network installation, troubleshooting, design and system engineering.The aim is to bring about improved and standardised engineering practice in the field through sharing a greater understanding of the basics, the components, the engineering tools and exploring examples of PROFINET systems. The book answers the need for comprehensive preparatory reading for the internationally recognised Certified PROFINET Engineer and the MSc Industrial Communication Systems courses which the author has been teaching at the Manchester Metropolitan University for a number of years.The book contains a large number of images, figures and cross-references to help understanding of the PROFINET technique details clearer.
