PI Technologies - Portfolio
Our industrial network solutions are based on seven communication and modularization technologies: PROFIBUS, PROFINET, IO-Link, omlox, MTP, SRCI and NOA.
The PI technology portfolio covers all major industrial automation markets, including factory and process automation, motion control, and safety-related applications. PROFIBUS is the leading fieldbus; PROFINET is the leading Ethernet standard; and IO-Link is the leading sensor/actuator communication system. These are all established communication technologies with future potential that enable the automation of the “Industry 4.0” generation.
Technological leadership enables our members to offer innovative and competitive products and solutions. As of the end of 2025, more than 71 million PROFIBUS, over 89 million PROFINET and over 71 million IO-Link nodes are installed on the market worldwide. The PROFIprocess, PROFIsafe, PROFIenergy and PROFIdrive profiles complement the basic technologies.
Detailed information on these technologies and profiles can be found in the corresponding menu.
PROFIBUS is a standardized, open, digital communication system for all areas of application in manufacturing and process automation.
PROFINET is the innovative open standard for Industrial Ethernet. It satisfies all requirements of automation technology.
IO-LINK is an independent sensor / actuator interface solution for use with all automation technologies.
MTP Module Type Package enables modular production in which individual components can be flexibly combined.
omlox is an open technology standard for real-time indoor localization systems for industrial manufacturing.
NOA integrates modern IT technologies into existing OT automation systems and promotes interoperability and efficiency.
SRCI is a new industry standard that allows you to directly program any compatible robot via any compatible PLC.
