Webinar: How PROFINET Works, A Beginner’s Guide

Listen to this article

Are you looking for an introductory course in PROFINET? This webinar presented by our colleagues in the USA will guide you through the basics of how PROFINET works. It will start by introducing the value of implementing fieldbuses and Industrial Ethernet protocols in automation networks. Then, it will expand on PROFINET basics, such as topology, media, features, performance, and configuration.

New Video: Advanced Physical Layer for Industrial Ethernet = Intrinsically Safe Ethernet

This “minute video” explains how PROFINET can be made to meet the needs of process automation, enabling long cable lengths and explosion protection via intrinsic safety with communication and power over two wires.

New Video: PROFIBUS vs PROFINET Comparison

This whiteboard video answers one of the most common PROFIBUS and PROFINET questions we receive: What is the difference between PROFIBUS and PROFINET? Watch the video and get a complete answer with technical details. Enjoy!


New Video: PROFINET and Edge Computing

Moving relevant data in PROFINET networks from field to edge to cloud and back is as transparent as possible -no matter where the edge is. Learn about PROFINET and edge computing in just 1 minute. Watch this video to find out!

Lightning Surge Protection on PROFIBUS Networks 

This webinar is aimed at those people responsible for the commissioning and support of PROFIBUS networks. It took the form of a presentation with demonstrations to aid understanding.

PROFINET to PROFIBUS Gateways 

This webinar is aimed at those people responsible for the design, commissioning and support of PROFINET networks and explains how to integrate existing PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA devices into that network.

This webinar follows on from the PROFINET Network Design Webinar but is this time aimed at people responsible for the commissioning and support of PROFINET networks.

PROFINET Network Design 

This 40-minute webinar is particularly relevant to people responsible for the design of PROFINET networks. It highlighted the common errors and assumptions made that could make on-going support of the network rather difficult.

EMC Awareness for Industrial Automation Systems

Particularity relevant to people responsible for the design and installation of PROFIBUS and PROFINET networks as outlined in the PI Guidelines on Earthing and Bonding of PROFIBUS and PROFINET Networks.

However, it is also for those who wanted an awareness of the often misunderstood topic of EMC in industrial automation.
