<\/p>\n We bring PROFINET to your target hardware \u2013 stack-neutral, from the concept phase through porting and integration to the passed certification test. You stay in control of schedule, budget and roadmap.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\u2026] Based on its many years of experience with PROFINET and PROFIdrive, Codewerk has shown us a complete professional solution which creates genuine added value for our customers and for us.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PROFINET is a given in factory automation: anyone building chips, controllers or field devices has to support IO controller, IO device or IO supervisor reliably, with full diagnostics and with certification. But that expertise does not build itself on the side \u2013 and your start of series production will not wait.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Does this sound familiar?<\/p>\n Many chip and device manufacturers lose time and budget because they \u2026<\/p>\n These are exactly the risks we take off your hands.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n We support chip and device manufacturers vendor-neutrally, from stack selection through integration and automated testing to passed certification \u2013 in close cooperation with the established manufacturers and test laboratories, backed by the know-how<\/span> of more than 10 years in industrial communication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We reduce the complexity of your project \u2013 thanks to many years of experience in industrial communication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We lower your schedule and budget risk \u2013 thanks to proven tools and methods such as continuous integration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We prepare you for future requirements \u2013 with stacks from Siemens or PI, for example PROFINET over TSN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We take care of design, implementation, integration and certification for you \u2013 Looking for a partner for your PROFINET integration? Schedule a consultation<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Stack-neutral: from established stacks to the open-source PI Community Stack, we choose the basis that fits your project’s hardware, schedule and budget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n The PI Community Stack is the open-source implementation of the PROFINET protocol \u2013 maintained by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI). We port, integrate and certify it vendor-neutrally on your target hardware.<\/p>\n This frees you from stack licenses and from dependence on a single supplier. The basis is developed further and maintained long term by the entire PROFINET community \u2013 free of charge for PI members, with no per-device fees.<\/p>\n And it fits into smaller devices than you might think: we have reduced the memory footprint so far that the stack runs with less than 1 MB of RAM in the internal memory of a modern MCU \u2013 without an external memory chip.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The various conformity classes CC-A, CC-B, CC-C and CC-D are essential for real-time communication and meet the requirements of a wide variety of systems and applications. The higher the class, the more demanding and time-critical the applications in which the PROFINET device can be used.<\/p>\n As the leading industrial Ethernet standard supported by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI), PROFINET is based on established IT standards such as TCP\/IP, thus creating the foundation for future-proof and interoperable industrial communication.<\/p>\n PROFIsafe enables safe communication in automation networks and ensures protection against hazards caused by faults or malfunctions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n PROFIdrive is a standard for the communication of drive systems in industrial networks and ensures the integration of different drive types.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n PROFIenergy combines energy management with automation. The profile helps to analyze and reduce energy consumption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n PROFIprocess ensures reliable transmission of process data and supports the automation of complex processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n PROFINET over APL takes the protocol to where 4\u201320 mA and PROFIBUS PA used to sit: into the field of the process industry. A single wire pair carries data and power at the same time, over several hundred meters and intrinsically safe into the Ex zone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For chip and device manufacturers, different rules apply there than in the factory. Plants run for decades and must not be shut down to replace a device, the control system is designed redundantly, and a transmitter has to be replaceable across vendors. PROFINET covers this with PA Profile 4 and conformity class CC-B (PA).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n We have already commissioned the PI Community Stack on APL reference hardware.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Not sure yet whether we are the right fit for your project?
