The new PROFINET from Wachendorff Automation – reengineered for tomorrow's requirements

Maximum performance through state-of-the-art technology

With a very short cycle time of 250 µs, PROFINET enables highly dynamic, precise control tasks. Support for device profile V4.2 and conformity class C ensures modern, standardised communication, including PROFIdrive, scalable resolution and high interoperability.

Another key element is the advanced combination of sensor technology and interface. Modern sensor technology and a robust communication connection ensure significantly increased reliability – even under demanding operating conditions. Mechanical resilience and intelligent electronics are precisely coordinated so that the platform can easily withstand the stresses and strains of today's and tomorrow's networked industry.

Powerful production advantages in the textile sector

Textile production is one of the most dynamic manufacturing sectors. High cycle rates, sensitive processes and harsh environments require maximum precision and stability.

Precision at maximum speed:
Isochronous real-time communication and extremely short cycle times ensure that thread tension, pattern formation and process quality remain stable at all times.

Early detection for safe production:
Modern redundancy concepts, real-time diagnostics and rapid fault localisation reduce downtime and make maintenance much easier.

Robustness under difficult conditions:
PROFINET remains reliable and EMC-stable in harsh textile environments with high levels of dust, vibration or temperature fluctuations.
 

Strong performance in intralogistics

In highly automated sorting facilities, where thousands of packages are moved every hour, PROFINET guarantees consistently precise synchronisation of all axes and sensors.

Efficiency for sorting and distribution processes:
Even with very fast processes, communication remains stable and precise.

Real-time capability for complex systems:
Multiple axes, numerous sensors and highly dynamic motion sequences can be controlled synchronously.

Continuous flow of materials:
Comprehensive diagnostic functions and robust hardware protect against unplanned downtime and ensure system availability.

Ready for the digital future

With comprehensive options for edge and cloud connectivity, the new PROFINET is consistently oriented towards the requirements of the digital factory. The platform provides a powerful foundation for the efficient use of data and the intelligent control of production and logistics processes. The new PROFINET thus offers a future-proof basis for modern automation concepts – regardless of industry, plant structure or degree of scaling.

Here you will find a summary of all the important information about the new PROFINET.
