Network components

Observe the following when selecting the network components of a PROFINET
network:

  • Use only industry-standard and PROFINET compliant network components.
  • Make sure that the network components support the desired PROFINET
    conformance class, e.g. CC-B or CC-C.
  • Use only managed switches.
  • The managed switch must support VLAN tagging according to IEEE802.1Q.
