Performance Comparison of PROFINET and PROFIBUS

Performance Comparison of PROFINET and PROFIBUS

PROFINET and PROFIBUS are two fieldbus systems introduced by the PNO organization. There is no comparability between the two; PROFINET is based on industrial Ethernet, while PROFIBUS is based on RS485 serial bus. The protocols of the two are completely different due to the differing media, with no connection between them. However, both have excellent … Read more
