Overview

The PROFINET interface is available on Brooks Instrument SLA Series Mass Flow Controllers & Meters.

PROFINET is an Ethernet-based communications system for industrial automation applications built upon the IEEE 802 standards for Ethernet and is standardized in IEC 61158 and IEC 61784. PROFINET incorporates elements of TCP/IP communications standards and has defined its own messaging protocols to minimize latencies TCP/IP protocols introduce. This solution leverages the power of the internet and enterprise connectivity, combined with the functionality and comprehensive suite of messages and services for manufacturing automation applications.
