with PROFINET interface auma Solutions for a world in motion

Top reliability and availability are prime requirements in process automation plants in terms of deployed communication technologies. Robust and versatile Industrial Ethernet Standards are the latest trends, in particular PROFINET. AUMA actuators with PROFINET support the entire functional scope of AC .2 actuator controls, allowing easy and flexible integration into virtually any type of network. FLEXIBLE AND VERSATILE Modular functional properties paired with high reliability make PROFINET an attractive communication solution in process automation. As open and standardised Industrial Ethernet...

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET “Industrial Ethernet” describes the enhancements allowing the use of Ethernet even for sophisticated applications in industrial automation. This concerns mainly the hard real-time capability but also development of robust network components for larger temperature ranges and harsh environmental conditions. Compared to conventionally used fieldbus systems, Industrial Ethernet offers a variety of technical advantages: >> Simultaneous transmission of real-time and IT data via a common medium >> Large address range with a nearly unlimited number of participants...

EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION SUPPORTIVE FUNCTIONS AUMA actuators with PROFINET interface integrate smoothly into network infrastructures and can be identified and addressed from any place by means of their device name or their IP address – similar to the PCs within a local network. PROFINET offers a variety of functions supporting commissioning and simplifying detection and correction of problems during operation. All operation commands and feedback signals supported by AC .2 actuator controls are cyclically available in real time. Acyclic reading of diagnostic information, alarms, data for device...
