Declaration of Independence
With its Industrial Profiles, Hirschmann now offers a unique range as far as integration into the three major standard protocols PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP is concerned, and is the first manufacturer to offer application possibilities on a broad base.
The Industrial Profiles are uploaded as firmware into a wide selection of Rail Switches, MICE or MACH and enable configuration and monitoring by the manufacturers’ own configuration tools in accordance with the plug & play principle.
This enables consistent, system-wide engineering with standard tools (for example STEP/ oder RS Logix5000) for the first time. From the simple commissioning and smooth integration into existing diagnostic concepts to the effortless exchange of defective components by automatic assignment of the configuration parameters.
Depending on the existing network standard, the manufacturer’s appropriate profile can be selected and delivered on request as part of the OpenRail ordering system.
The advantages on a view:
- Profile selection options for all managed Hirschmann switches
- Choice of 3 protocols: PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP
- System-wide engineering
- Seamless integration in diagnostic concept
- Maximum flexibility for all markets and networks
