Switch hitter supports two Ethernet protocols
Profinet IRT/Ertec Switch is the next phase of Profinet for factory automation. It involves enhanced isosynchronous real-time (IRT) technology, promising to enable much larger networks and number of nodes. Profinet IRT/Ertec Switch relies on a new ASIC for which Siemens is the main supplier. Traffic-monitoring feature shows the effects of data transfer load changes on the network.
