Roll over image to zoom in

PROFINET® is an advanced industrial Ethernet protocol designed for real-time automation and networking. Developed by PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI) as the successor to PROFIBUS, it supports real-time communication, integrates fieldbus systems and leverages IT standards like transmission control protocol (TCP)/internet protocol (IP).

Standardized under IEC 61158 and IEC 61784, PROFINET enables reliable factory automation, robotics, motor drives, programmable logic controller (PLC) and remote I/Os. NXP offers certifiable PROFINET protocol software for industrial processors with features, such as media redundancy, diagnostics and evaluation binaries.

The software is delivered in two forms: binary images suitable for basic functional evaluation of the implementation on NXP hardware; compiled object libraries and associated source code, PROFINET Stack Library suitable for building into your own application on NXP hardware.

To assist development of your own applications, the Industrial Communications Creator (ICC) Tool provides a user-friendly mechanism for configuration and object dictionary management.
