PI Technologies - Portfolio
Our industrial network solutions are based on six communication- and modularization technologies: PROFIBUS, PROFINET, IO-Link, omlox, MTP and SRCI.
The PI technology portfolio covers all key markets in industrial automation, from factory automation and process automation to motion control and safety-related applications. PROFIBUS - the leading fieldbus -, PROFINET - the leading Ethernet standard - and IO-Link - the leading sensor/actuator communication system - are available automation technologies with future potential and enablers for the automation of the "Industry 4.0" generation.
Technological leadership enables our members to offer innovative and competitive products and solutions. Today, more than 68 million PROFIBUS, over 69 million PROFINET and over 51 million IO-Link nodes are installed on the market worldwide (as of the end of 2023). The PROFIsafe, PROFIenergy and PROFIdrive profiles complement the basic technologies.
Detailed information on the 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.
