One of the most important functions of a managed PROFINET switch is the prioritisation of PROFINET telegram traffic in the machine network. You can integrate the switch into your automation environment as usual using a GSDML file.
One of the most important functions of a managed PROFINET-Switch is the prioritizing of the PROFINET frame traffic in the machine network. The managed switch can differentiate whether the frame is a web query, an FTP file transmission, a media stream, or a PROFINET frame. In the case of a high transmission load, the important frames can thus be prioritized in order to prevent frame losses.
With a GSDML file you can integrate the switch into your automation environment in the usual way.
The supported PROFINET protocols, such as LLPD, DCP, or even diagnosis alarms, can be easily configured and administered.
