PROFINET Technology for Industrial Networking


PROFINET is a data communication protocol designed specifically for real-time data communication in automation and manufacturing environments.

With a portfolio of host, switching and endpoint solutions, we can help you implement the PROFINET protocol to accelerate time to market and give you confidence in your design. We also offer our MicroCHECK design review service, which provides individualized feedback on your design from our engineers.

Host, Switching and Endpoint Solutions


To address the need for enhanced redundancy and reporting, switching solutions now offload the required redundancy protocols directly onto the hardware, making your designs more reliable and resilient. We offer switching solutions that partition Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) and coherent routing situations that are time aware with multiple domains for factory, process, network and more. Our real-time engine offloads PROFINET Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), accommodating the increased demands placed on endpoints. Visit our GitHub to access a PROFINET sample application, which includes documentation and software.

LAN9662 Ethernet Switch


Part of our LAN966x family, the LAN9662 is a compact, cost-effective, multi-port Gigabit AVB/TSN Ethernet switch with two integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T PHYs and a 600 MHz Arm® Cortex®-A7 CPU subsystem.

Designed for PROFINET RT, PROFINET TSN v2.4 and OPC UA Publish Subscribe (PubSub) automation networks at the field level, the LAN9662 facilitates asynchronous and low cycle time synchronous operation. With four Gigabit Ethernet ports, an industrial Ethernet real-time engine and low-latency chain, this device supports tree and meshed topologies for PROFINET and OPC UA PubSub automation networks and low-latency, cut-through daisy chains for OPC UA PubSub summation frames (also known as aggregation frames and modify on-the-fly).
