Fit for digitalisation – from OT to IT

The greatest challenges to the use of edge- and cloud-based applications in industrial automation – for optimising plant performance, for example – have to do with efficient digitalisation. At the same time OT and IT, which have traditionally been developed and operated independently of one another, are converging. It’s crucial to retain the strengths of existing solutions while creating new synergies. Siemens is making this possible by combining two proven standards: PROFINET and OPC UA.

PROFINET and OPC UA. Two standards. One network.

To implement the consistent, end-to-end digitalisation of OT and IT and make optimal use of OT and IT data, Siemens combines the benefits of two Ethernet standards: PROFINET and OPC UA.

PROFINET for speed and reliability

At the field level, PROFINET is impressive with its strict real-time capability for faster and faster applications, as well as deterministic and a large bandwidth for rapidly increasing numbers of signals.

OPC UA for flexibility and data semantics

OPC UA excels with its semantic communication from machine to machine and from machines to the MES and ERP levels, or to the cloud. Principal process and diagnostic data is transformed into intelligent, structured information that opens up new possibilities for analysis and process optimisation.

TSN – towards a real-time future

TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) offers an additional functional expansion. This global Ethernet standard supplements PROFINET and OPC UA with important real-time functions like reserved bandwidths, Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, and low transmission latency.

The difference between layer 2 and layer 3 switches.

Traditional switching operates at layer 2 of the OSI model, where packets are sent to a specific switch port based on destination MAC addresses. Routing operates at layer 3, where packets are sent to a specific “next-hop” IP address, based on the destination IP address.

Siemens Industrial Ethernet Switches are available in a variety of formats and provide a total solution for networking systems safely and securely, these include: 

Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches

Unmanaged Switches

Mainly used for connecting directly onto SIMATIC for interface expansion and integration of machines into existing plant networks.

  • SCALANCE X-000 unmanaged
  • SCALANCE X-100 unmanaged

Enabling enhanced efficiency, quality and safety for Food and Beverage operations.

Discover our solutions as key enabler for efficient, excellent quality, and highly competitive operation, allowing our clients effortlessly meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market while maintaining product safety and consistency.
