New products for Profinet

Siemens, through the division of Products and Industrial Systems, presents the first products for Profinet-IRT (isochronous Ethernet in real time), developed with the new Asic Ertec 400. The switch to 10/100 Megabit/s Scalance X 204-2 IRT, is ideal to build networks Ethernet with topology line, star and ring; the processor of communications CP 1616 applies in programmers and PCs. Also it is novelty the kit of development Ertec 400, a solution that allows to the manufacturers of components of automation develop quickly products and applications for Profinet IRT.

The new switch for Ethernet Scalance X 204-2 IRT has of electrical and optical ports to connect nodes and the network. The robust box in protection IP30 occupies little place and can fix in the electrical cupboard, on profile normalised or to the wall. The connectors type IE FC RJ45 offer relief of traction and flexión additional by fixation to the box, an ideal solution for industrial applications. The topologies in ring redundantes increase the availability. LED Of signaling, server Web integrated cheese cheese and contacts of signaling accelerate the diagnostic. The support of SNMP allows to integrate the switch in infrastructures of existent network.

The processor of communications CP 1616, conceived for programmers and PC, occupies a slot PCI and has of a switch real time with four ports, what allows to build small local networks. Of series carries integrated cheese cheese a so much interface OPC (OLE for Process Control) like the mechanisms of communication for the systems of automation like Simatic S7.

The kit of development Ertec 400 for hardware and software Profinet IRT consists of a plate of evaluation with Asic Ertec 400 in quality of surroundings of development, ten Asics, exemplary software for IO-Controllers and IO-Devices of Profinet as well as software of test and simulation under Windows XP. Besides it incorporates components of the system FastConnect, e.g. connectors FastConnect, wire and tool of peeled, for conectorización fast of cables for Industrial Ethernet. The developers and implementadores can enjoy in addition to the services of the Centres of integration in Europe and the USA, p. ej, free telephone assistance.

The Asic Ertec 400 (Enhanced Real-Time Ethernet Controller) developed by Siemens is instrumented with a switch real time with 4 ports and a microprocessor of 32 bits. This Asic combines communication in real time, for control isocróno fast, with communication YOU, e.g. road TCP/IP. This allows e.g. the isochronous control of until 150 axles with a time of cycle of 1 millisecond and a jitter inferior to 1 microsecond, remaining simultaneously a 50 percent of the available bandwidth for the communication YOU.
