Profinet EtherNet Encoder
Model No.: GMA-S5810-1213-B4PELP SeriesProfinet implements the interfacing to peripherals.[1][2] It defines the communication with field connected peripheral devices. Its basis is a cascading real-time concept. Profinet defines the entire data exchange between controllers (called “IO-Controllers”) and the devices (called “IO-Devices”), as well as parameter setting and diagnosis. IO-Controllers are typically a PLC, DCS, or IPC; whereas IO-Devices can be varied: I/O blocks, drives, sensors, or actuators. The Profinet protocol is designed for the fast data exchange between Ethernet-based field devices and follows the provider-consumer model.[1] Field devices in a subordinate Profibus line can be integrated in the Profinet system seamlessly via an IO-Proxy (representative of a subordinate bus system).(From Wikipedia)
