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
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
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:
