Siemens AG - Driving the Development of PROFINET

As a leading technology group with a focus on industry, infrastructure and mobility, we are shaping the transition to the digital age together with our customers and partners.
Siemens has been actively driving the development of PROFINET since its inception as a committed PI member. 

As a result, you benefit from extensive PROFINET know-how, a high level of consulting expertise and proven technology components for more efficient and faster device development. We support you throughout the entire development period, from technology consulting to successful certification.

Technology components from Siemens benefit from the experience gained from many years of successful development work and have already proven themselves in countless products in the field.
We provide you with all solutions for PROFINET, i.e. solutions for both PROFINET controllers and devices with real-time (RT) or isochronous real-time (IRT).

Security is an integral part of our devkits – aligned with the PI/PNO guidelines for PROFINET security. After the official release, the PROFINET Specification V2.5 will be available in our devkits. With the new ERTEC 2100, a powerful hardware platform featuring state‑of‑the‑art security functions is ready to use.

Security is a journey: capabilities evolve incrementally, and certifications progress in parallel. As a technical reference framework, we take into account the component requirements of IEC 62443‑4‑2.
