Indu-Sol has developed the Promesh P10X diagnostic switch for Profinet and Industrial Ethernet. Integrated sensors monitor parameters that ensure communication quality.

As requirements change during the lifetime of a project or in the life cycle of an application, the PLCnext Technology ecosystem from Phoenix Contact now also offers a pluggable solution in addition to the subsequent loading of functions from the PLCnext Store.

With the Profinet-IO-Device interface, [mu:v] enables measurement data determined by the Optris PIX Connect software to be recorded and made available via Profinet.

Stöber has added further Profinet functions to the 'SC6' and 'SI6' drive controller series.

With the Flextra Profinet switch from Helmholz, users can decide for themselves which of the 16 RJ45 ports are used for Profinet and which for Gigabit Ethernet.

Renesas has launched the 'R-IN32M3 Modules for Multi-Protocol Support', which offer multi-protocol support on board and support Profinet CC-B (including MRP), EthernetIP (including DLR) and Ethercat.
How efficient is a 5G infrastructure in terms of functional safety? The third and final part of this series of articles describes laboratory experiments carried out with Profisafe via Profinet within a 5G network using typical industrial components.

Interview with Thomas Schildknecht
How does the transmission of Profisafe via Profinet using 5G behave? This question is the focus of the BMBF-funded 5GANG project. Thomas Schildknecht explains the initial results.
With the Profinet-certified Promesh P10 industrial Ethernet switch from Indu-Sol, not only can communication be controlled, but the quality of the cables can also be permanently monitored.
