 What is PROFIBUS? / Why PROFIBUS?
PROFIBUS - Standards maintained by PROFIBUS International Created in 1989 by a consortium of companies and institutions, PROFIBUS has become the world’s most popular fieldbus in discrete process control. It is mature, proven ideal for supporting modern automation systems. With over 14 million installed devices, it is a significant driving force for the world’s production plants.  By continuously enhancing the technology, PROFIBUS International (PI) has ensured that PROFIBUS remains fieldbus solution. The ongoing commitment of the world’s automation major suppliers ensures that investments today are fully protected for the lifetime of any plant.

PROFIBUS is unique in offering a fully integrated solution for discrete and process applications, a major benefit in the process industries where upstream, mainstream and downstream processes have to work together. Industries using PROFIBUS range from critical petrochemical operations and high volume robotic manufacturing plants, right across the spectrum to food and drink, treatment plants.

 
 What is PROFINET? / Why PROFINET?
PROFIBUS - Standards maintained by PROFIBUS International  PROFINET draws on more than 20 years of IT and manufacturing experience to introduce ‘Industrial Ethernet’ into the world of automation. It supports advanced plant automation strategies and helps them merge easily with the enterprise and beyond. For the production line it provides comparable functionality to PROFIBUS, using techniques that are familiar to both Engineering and IT and Management personnel. Web-based operations and Internet connectivity combine to make access and deployment easy, with almost unlimited flexibility and scalability.

PROFINET capitalizes on the PROFIBUS experience by using common technology wherever possible, a policy to ensure that legacy assets remain useful. PROFINET can embrace any existing fieldbus – not just PROFIBUS - ensuring easy migration and full investment protection regardless of which current fieldbus is used. A Component Based approach to engineering offers big advantages for larger OEMs. PROFINET’s crowning virtue is a unique solution for advanced multi-axis Motion Control.
